Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I speak English as first language. I can readily provide you with my North American accent in English, as I am from the Northwest part of the USA.

I speak a little Dutch, and can definitely pronounce Dutch words properly, if needed.

I can speak English with a German accent. I can speak English with a Russian accent.

My Voice Experience

Acting and singing have long been two of my fortés. I started playing with my voice in high school when I started to study foreign languages and was determined to speak them with a proper accent. I was active in theater and video projects from the years of 1994-2004. From 2002-present my focus has turned to music composition and producing. Now I'd like to marry the two.

I recently provided original music for a European Honda ad campaign along with my Dutch music partner, Berend Dubbe- a renowned voice actor and musician. Collaboration between the two of us for your project is an option for us as well.

My Training

- Acting since age 8.

- Improv theater cast member for local theater sports teams from 1997-2000. Wide range of characters, some scripted, some off-the-cuff.

- 1999-2002, Worked in orchestra pit for Village Theater Company of Issaquah and Everett, WA.

- 2001-2004, I hosted a radio show at my university's radio station, KSPU- The Monster Hour (and I was your host, Gwen the Monster). That was where I discovered I had a radio voice. I was also the program director of that radio station for three years.

- 2004, performed as Sam-I-Am (a goofy, kid-friendly character) in two-person cast of operetta setting of Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham."

- Bachelor's degree from Seattle Pacific University in 2004 in music theory and composition, and am a skilled song and jingle writer, which makes me fully trained and capable of composing "on hold" music, as well as music for commercials and television programs or theme songs for podcasts. Trained in classical and jazz music theory and have the most experience writing jazz-influenced orchestral pop. Experienced with beat and loop sequencing and production, as well.

- 2003- present, I work in ProTools and Reason, training in these programs was part of my BA degree.

- Singing voice is strong, clear, and pure-toned with a very light vibrato and I have a two-octave singing range from a G below middle C to the G atop the staff. Don't let the purity fool you- I can throw in a ton of soul. I took two years of professional voice training in jazz, primarily, but have been singing in choirs since I was eight years old, and in front of bands since I first started singing with my high school's big band at the age of 15.
