I speak with a natural upper midwestern accent. I can also break out a southern drawl If needed. As for characterizations, I can do a little child using my falsetto voice. I can also do a grouchy old man.

Once upon a time I heard a professional storyteller WOW her audience with an Anansi tale. Nobody was more wowed than I was. So taken in was I that I went to the library and checked out a book of folktales. Then I memorized a few and told them to children. Before I knew it I was a sought after storyteller myself. Time went by and I found myself networking with other storytellers one of whom was working on a play. She asked me to be in the play. You can say that I WOWed them at the audition. This catapulted me into acting. My voice experience is mostly in acting and storytelling. I am a certified school teacher with endorsements in language arts and social studies at the middle grades as well as library school media k-12. I also have a masters degree in library science from Clark Atlanta University. Currently I am working at the Atlanta-Fulton Public Library where I often tell stories for children's story time. In addition to story time I perform all over the city of Atlanta as a storyteller and spoken word poet. I am currently a member of Kuumba Storytellers of Georgia. I currently do not have my own studio equipment, however I have access to a recording studio for recording my own demos. As a librarian I am knowledgeable of library service including bibliographic instruction. As an educator I am knowledgeable of different ways children learn. I am also knowledgeable of my subject matter including grammar and history.
