My Voice Experience

I've been a vamp for Jack Daniels (Marilyn Monroe), helped win a national award for Parks & Rec., been a shopping fairy godmother, dropped politician's names - Tim Knopp, given medical advice and kept kids safe, spun many a disc, schlepped ice cream for Dairy Queen, and kept FOX & NBC happy in the process.

My Training

I've been in the entertainment industry for most of my life acting, singing, dancing, and doing technical work. I've taken voice lessons, worked as a disc jockey, and run the behind-the-scenes audio for television broadcast and production. In addition to audio work, I have also worked with the filming aspect. I've done film, television, commercial, and theatre work for the better part of 30 years. I strive to improve my knowledge and education and take all the available classes I can find.

My Studio Equipment

I currently have a 12 channel Mackie board and an M-Box (overkill, I know) with a Shure microphone.

Additional Skills

I have also written and helped write many of the spots I have worked on. I enjoy creating the spots as much as lending my voice over talents to the projects. In addition to my creative talents, I am also a dependable, self-employed business woman.
