Voice Description

WARM * YOUTHFUL * HIP * SAVVY * COMPASSIONATE

BUSINESSES that seek to create a fresh, contemporary sound have now found their dynamic and articulate voice!

WITH ENERGY AND INTELLIGENCE, I specialize in bringing a warm, personable read to technical copy. My 13 years working as a stage actress and studying text analysis have given me the tools I need to evoke the subtleties that lie in the copy. I have great melodic ability and intonation, so that your copy doesn't SOUND like copy. My voice talent spans the range from smooth & comforting to upbeat, to throaty & sarcastic. I have a knack for giving cutting, contemporary feminine reads that result in competitive and compelling products.

WHILE MY PROFICIENCY in reading lends itself to a quick and economic recording, I always take care to speak DIRECTLY to my listeners, as if confiding in them. This way the listener feels unique, important, and comfortable.

I HAVE AN AFFECTION for story-telling and sharing information; whether through tutorials, narration, audio-books, demos, phone systems, or animation, you will get an intimacy with my voice that will make your final product stand out above the rest!

You'll find a great deal of COMPASSION and EMPATHY in my voice, especially in dealing with projects relating to the arts, education, health care, environmental stability, and human rights.

Mine is not just another silky smooth, warm, clear, confident and all the other adjectives-you'll-read-about-in-bios voice; my voice is GENUINE. It's HUMAN. And it has all the subtleties of being PRESENT.

My Voice Experience

MY EXTENSIVE TRAINING in Voice and Speech has made me articulate and my constant work in the field has helped me to create an easy and natural sound. I have over ten years under my belt working with difficult text and finding meaning even in the most seemingly mundane of copy.

I HAVE WORKED as a narrator for the award winning software company LITERARY COMPANION, improving students’ understanding of classic texts, while simultaneously building vocabulary, reading-comprehension and writing skills.

You'll find my voice narrating promos for LINCOLN's new 2009 and 2010 models.

I am the Voice for FORD-LINCOLN-MERCURY Dealer Mojo voice messaging, on-hold, and online tutorials.

My voice has been used to welcome patrons to the Black Box Theater in Seattle, and I've been a featured pre-recorded voice talent in numerous plays.

In 1998, I was cast as the lead in one of the first online "radio" serial dramas.

My Studio Equipment

I work one on one with my husband, who is a professional sound engineer, in our studio. Together we have state of the art recording equipment to get the best quality and sound for your final product.

Our system includes:

We use Pro Tools LE with high-end RME conversion for recording and monitoring

We have a wide selection of the very best microphone preamps including API, Neve, and JLM

My Soundelux e47 microphone gives me a focused, forward and smooth presence unattainable with an inferior mic

And an isolation booth for complete control over interference and sound quality

With these tools at my disposal I'm able to mix and master each file for you so as to minimize the turn-around time for your project!

Additional Skills

I'm GREAT with people!
