Voice Description

Light and airy for commercials, child-like and innocently imaginative for animations, girl next door or annoying neighbor. Calming and patient for book narrations, especially children's books and e-learning videos. The use of the robot vocoder (to make futuristic feminine robot voices) is useful for video games or science fiction animations. Professional and smooth for presentations and crisp for instructional materials.

My Voice Experience

I started recording a few years ago to write and record weekly funny songs for my friends on Silly song Sundays. I took special requests. After falling in love with the microphone and the robot vocoder, I became friends with some very talented people in the video game industry. It opened up a new door of possibilities in the science fiction and video game voiceover arena. I then realized that I could write audio ads for my friends with local businesses to help their commercial websites. I realized that I enjoy all forms of audio communication, advertising, and story telling. Most recently, I made a video to enter in the miracle whip not for every relationship contest, and received second place on September 13, 2011. In this video, I have a demonstration of my singing an original jingle called "Double Dippin". I also work alongside the dental society as the Tooth fairy, giving presentations and live storytime readings to children. I enjoy all forms of digital communication and am flexible to my client's needs and direction. I am always up for a challenge and will be happy to assist you in any of your recording needs.

My Training

Professional VoiceOver training with Ginny Kopf (level one graduate 2012). As a student of Psychology, I am required to know current medical terminology and biological science terms, (microbiology/Anatomy and physiology) which is helpful for recoding medical texts. I have song writing and recording, performing arts, commercial and jingle writing experience. I am comfortable with the robot vocoder for video games and futuristic instructional demonstrations.

My Studio Equipment

Additional Skills

Although my niche is in the video game and science fiction realm, I enjoy all forms of digital communication and am flexible to my client's needs and direction. Before my voiceover career, I worked for a promotions company working with different products and giving live stage promotional presentations. I recently started a promotions consumer review board in Orlando, Florida, promoting only the very best reviewed products.

Most recently, I made a video to enter in the miracle whip not for every relationship contest, and received second place (announced on September 13, 2011).
