Voice Description

My natural speaking voice is clear, calm and gentle.

However it can be made very short fused and ratty, or hysterial is so required.
I can do sexy but may have a tendancy to giggle.
I love reading aloud and can make stories live through my voice. Stories for ALL ages.

I would be able to make a very dull and boring presentation bearable and at least digestable.

My Voice Experience

I have no experience.
It is something I know I can do and that I would be good at.
I used to work in a shop and was always having to calm annoyed customers whose work was incomplete, they normally left the line happy.
I have given demonstrations and held a group of 25 people's attention fo 3 hours, with a break for coffee. These sessions included explaining how to create paint effects for Crown paints, Copthorne Hotels and Ideal Home Magazine.
I have also been involved in selling on a one to one basis and am told that I exude confidence, leading people to commit.
I managed to persuade my husband to marry me!

My Training

I trained in Fine Art and have a BAhons first class.
As I said I ran several classes teaching paint effect and had to explain to dozens of housewives the joy of colour. I have a sense of humour which usually helps me through most things and I can cope in all manner of situations.
I was involved in performance whilst at college, and feel that these events have had a lasting effect on my peronality and confidence.

My Studio Equipment

none

Additional Skills

I do have a sense of humour, I am calm and can adapt to situations well.
I have been involved with wedding planning and in that field you certinly come across all types, mother in laws being the worstest. Trying to keep the marriage together before the ceremony is often VERY HARD.
I know I am a novice but would love to try.
