I have been working on developing my voice for recording for most of my life. I have experience acting. I was in my college's major theatrical production entitled "The first 100 years are always the hardest" and participated in short theatrical pieces as a staff player at the summer camp where I worked. I teach English for international students and constantly develop my dramatic and impersonation skills in the classroom. I have recorded test scripts for testing listening comprehension. My training beyond foreign language study is limited. I have taken acting classes in high school and university. Took Speech Communications course in university. I read extensively on the subject of recording, studio design, sound, etc. In my personal studio I use an M-Audio Fast Track Pro to record on my PC. I've got a pop filter on my vertically mounted microphone (I have access to several for different purposes.) I have lived in Austria and Russia, so I am used to learning as I go and adapting to new situations and settings. My MA is in Applied Linguistics, so I have a good understanding of a number of different languages--the rules of the sound system, grammar and so on. As an English as a Second Language teacher, I have been exposed to accents from all over the world, which has enhanced my grasp of diverse accents.
