My Voice Experience

In the late '50's, I did commercials for Channel 13 in Birmingham, Alabama. From the 1960's on, in Houston, TX, my main voice work was in commercials (products, supermarkets), and industrial voice-overs (eg. EXXON-Mobil).

My Training

Queens College (Theatre/Drama)
The Dramatic Workshop of the New School (later The Actor's Studio), 1949, full scholarship
New York University, BA,
The University of Houston, MA
The University of Texas at Austin, PhD

Both at college and at the Dramatic Workshop, I took classes and workshops in voice, voice-overs, recording, acting, and various aspects of stage work. Over the years, I have continued to participate in workshops with other professionals.

My Studio Equipment

Additional Skills

I have performed on stage in legitimate plays and musicals most of my life: from 1948-2000 in New York, Houston, Beaufort (SC), Santiago (Chile), and Recife (Brazil). Being multi-lingual/multi-cultural has given me an insight into different worlds that has informed my professional life as a university professor, performing artist, lecturer and translator.

Additionally, I have conducted workshops in performance arts at the Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston, TX; have been Dramaturge and Artistic Director at the South Carolina New Playwrights Festival; and Dramaturge, Asst. Director, Director at STAGES, Inc., Houston, Texas.
