My Voice Experience

In 2007, I was selected from within the technology company I worked for as an instructional designer to record the audio tracks for a Chemical, Biological, and Radiological computer-based training for a private client. I had co-designed the educational content for this project which required approximately 4 months of voiceover recording work ranging from 30 minutes to 4 hours a day. A number of the recording sessions also included direction from a subject matter expert via phone patch.

I've also recorded automated voice messages for Laurel Pediatric Associates of Johnstown, PA.

I am presently employed by Crown American Hotels and other private clients as a vocalist.

My Training

Training: Edge Studio, Washington, D.C. and NYC

I continue my voiceover training through Edge Studio on a regular basis.

Bachelor's Degree, Communications Media
Indiana University of Pennsylvania

My Studio Equipment

I have a home studio using ProTools LE software for PC. I am currently recording using an MXL microphone with Digidesign and Sony equipment. The quality of my studio allows me to produce a high quality auditions at any time as well as finished and edited tracks.

I can produce finished tracks as .mp3 and .wav files.

Additional Skills

I work part-time in a pediatrician's office. This requires me to understand and pronounce complex medical jargon. Being a pediatric environment, it is my job to entertain children on a daily basis and make them comfortable in an otherwise intimidating environment.

My background as a vocalist allows me to interpret copy well and convey a message properly. I regularly adjust my voice to match the feeling of different songs that my trio performs.
