Voice Description

My voice is warm and friendly for commercials. For narrations, my voice is smooth and have precise pronunciation, but can also deliver it with a commanding yet engaging tone. Character voices are my favorite because they are fun, creative and spontaneous.

Spanish is my native language and learned English since age 5. Growing up abroad in Europe and South America, I gained a great affinity for accents of which my favorite is the Spaniard, Venezuelan and Cuban accents in Spanish. I can also deliver an upper class British, French and Italian accent in English. I have studied 3yrs of French and 1yr of Italian and though I don't speak these fluently, I can read them, understand them and pronounce them very well.

My Voice Experience

My experience as a voice over talent stems out of my natural goofiness and flair for drama as early as age 3. My mother was working in the kitchen with the T.V. on when a commercial with a very sexy lady announcing Palmolive Bath Soap came on. Soon after the commercial, I played and recited it mimicking the sexy lady to perfection leaving my mother stunned.

In more recent years I have studio experience and have done a Spanish commercial for Subway Sandwiches for the South Bay.

Last year I was in a Blue Shield web commercial for Southern California as the "sombrero girl" or girl with the big Mexican hat.blueshieldcahablatuidioma(website)
