Voice Description

My voice is fairly sophisticated - it actually is warm and deep. I have done a voice over for a company where I had to be crisp and professional and had to read many numerical statistics. But, I have also done the voice of Old Mother Hubbard; and a frazzled housewife yelling at her kids for being too loud while I am trying to talk to a friend. I can manipulate my voice to be youthful, middle aged or senior.

My first language is English. I also speak Latvian. Accents come fairly easily -- European, spanish, country western, british, bronx/brooklyn, and several others that I can mimic after hearing the accent.

Children find my voice soothing when I read/narrate stories. I have fun with my voice, i.e., I laugh like a pirate or cackle like a witch. Many say that I would be perfect to do Ursula's voice from The Little Mermaid.

I've used a sultry voice for a jewelry merchant as well as a french accent for a car ad. I have also sung a few jingles.

My Voice Experience

I did radio spots for a local radio station -- WREF in Ridgefield, Ct. which is now defunct. The DJ and I recorded the ads in their recording studio.

I read many different types of copy for different merchants in the area, including: jewelers, fur merchants, car dealerships, caterers, liquor stores, and grocery stores.

I was offered a deejay position because I had graduated from Connecticut's School of Broadcasting.

My Training

I graduated from a voice over class/ workshop given by a professional voice actor. I and several others were chosen to further our training and were sent to a recording studio where we recorded commercials and narrations.

I graduated from Connecticut's School of Broadcasting. Many times we had to write and perform our own written copy both on TV as well as radio.

I have a degree in Video Production from Fairfield University; and also was the Wardrobe Supervisor at Darien Dinner Theater.

Additional Skills

Totally unrelated, but you might find interesting is that I have a Paralegal degree.

I also am very active in saving/helping animals. Living in the country, as I do, I am privie to all sorts of wildlife as well as homeless pets. Somehow, they all find my house. Food and shelter is always available -- thus I can also imitate cat/kitten, puppy/dog and ferret sounds.

I have also written several children's stories/books based on different animals.
