Voice Description

Without grandiosity, I can say I am a voice-over "natural." I have been acting, writing and doing voice-overs for twenty years, and possess a strong facility for creating compelling characters. I am also a sound-alike for Kathleen Turner, Sally Kirkland and Demi Moore. Further, I have very strong mimicry abilities. If so desired, because I am also an accomplished writer,I can help improve existing copy in the moment, right in the booth, or create copy from scratch. My sense of humor is often what lands me the job, as well as the smooth, convincing tone I possess as a narrator. Audiobooks are great for me as with those projects I can combine both by narrating skills and my ability to create characters.
Finally, because of my excellent training, I know how to "squeeze it in" those 30 seconds, when it really should be 45 ;)

....and still make it understandable.

Gosh, this may all a bit "full of myself," but I figure in the career ring is no time to be ultra-modest. I am grateful for my vocal abilities and look forward to working for you!

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Accents: All Southern dialects (and they ARE different)...I am a Master of the Southern dialects as I am from there, British (upper and lower), French (speak some),Russian, Irish, New York (Brooklyn), Boston,Minnesotan,German,and can voice match/impersonate Demi Moore,Kathleen Turner,babies,toddlers,dogs barking,cartoon animals....JUST ASK!

My Voice Experience

My voice-over experience is extensive. Twenty years ago places I worked would pay me extra to record their outgoing phone message with a British accent. Then, because I am an actress, I was always doing voices for fun, for my own enjoyment, and people started saying you can make money doing that. And I was off...
Helped script my first demo reel in Seattle where I lived, immediately got a VO agent from reel...shortly after booked a lead in a video game, SIN (role: Elexis Sinclair)...Apparently her skimpy costume and my dulcet tones have given Miss Sinclair a very ardent teenage boy following...then there was Tree Top Apple Juice....then Del Taco...then "Well, heck, let's move to LA and see what I can do there!"...random VO gigs for the multimedia company I was working for there, then my first SAG VO gig ("The General's Daughter,"some ADR, some death grunts)...and Christina Applegate's now defunct show, (voice of offstage beauty pageant announcer)...had to sound authoritative, slightly condascending and gorgeous, all at once...and most recently I had to be funny with words, well, that were not....luckily, we were encouraged to improvise I did.Oh, it may be of note that a few of the voices in my animation reel were voiced AND written by me.

My Training

I have a BFA in musical theatre from The Boston Conservatory where we had EXTENSIVE voice training, as well as an entire year of dialect education. (In our final exam we had to perform 7 monologues back to back using distinctly different dialects in each. For what it is worth, I made a "A" and graduated cum laude and on the Dean's List.

Since leaving school take workshops to "stay sharp" and have been known to perform multi-character plays in my apartment. (Ask the neighbors.)

I have worked in media production and as a copywriter (references avaialable.)

Most recently I wrote a bi-coastal play that was then produced in LA and NYC, had several short stories published, and have now been approached to write the screenplay version of the recently produced play. "These characters are fascinating," I am told. I write characters I could, or would want to, perform. Somehow this seems relevant to your question. If not please forgive.

Lastly, when I go homw for Christmas I will be expected touse my VO skills to "entertain the troops," a service I provide happily, because sharing a small bit of the gift I've been given is less expensive than those giant smelly candles they sell at Pottery Barn.

My Studio Equipment

I have access to a fully equipped sound studio (a friend's,)Snowball Mike, SoundForge software, as well as others. He is my 100% avaialble engineer teaching me the ropes in exchange for other work I have done for him as an actress. He is giving me his time and equipment to DO auditions and projects as well as teach me how to do it 100% autonomous.

I also have a second friend with an in-house booth, snowball mike and SoundForge who is also amenable to me laying down tracks at her place. (Have already done this several times for other projects.)

Basically, book me,I'll get it done....book me 2,3,4 or 5 times and I'll use that dough to buy my own mike and software.

Oh, and for what it is worth, an old client called from Mississippi and I got them what they needed in a one day turnaround using my friend's in-house booth. They were thrilled and want to use me again despite the distance.

Additional Skills

I take direction well, and thoroughly APPRECIATE direction. Also, more and more my ability to write is serving me in the voice-over arena. Of course I don't change copy if not asked. But definitely,there have been times when "improv encouraged" resulted in soome really excellent product.

Also, throughout the years, I have learned important lessons...not enough can be said for the benefit of real listening, humor and PATIENCE inside the booth!
