Voice Description

I have a fun and quirky personality that comes through in my voice over acting. I have often been told that I sound like Megan Mullally ("Will and Grace") or Kristin Chenoweth (Broadway and "West Wing").

I have a large range in pitch and acting capabilities, and can sound like a very little child or a mature woman.

My Voice Experience

My voice over work thus far has included radio commercials (including "Verizon"), TV voiceover, audio books and animation. As a voice actor, I am comfortable in any recorded or live voice medium, including singing. I have many years' experience as an actress in many mediums, including: radio, stage, tv, film, and audio books. I am also a professional singer that sings jazz, broadway, pop, operetta and am currently in a very successful band - The Wonderelles (demo available).

My Training

I have been studying voice for 2/3 of my life- both voice acting and singing. I have been privately trained in voiceover by Bill Holmes of Compost Productions. I am a graduate of Occidental College. I have studied Acting and Improvisation (Second City) which helps greatly with my voice acting. I take pride in my ability to create characters and take direction.

Additional Skills

I am talented and motivated. I sing, act, work with graphic design and try to live my life to the fullest. I discovered that one secret to voiceovers is to be a careful listener as well as a fabulous voice!
