energetic casual quirky humorous mellow Massachusetts Regionalism (Masshole) Characters

Trained as a professional choral singer from the age of seven I have always continually worked to enhance my vocal abilities. After decades of being told "you should do voice overs" I finally broke down and began studying the craft of the voice over. I have been incredibly fortunate to have been given great opportunity (and have subsequently met with success) from my first professional recordings. Five years ago, when I casually mentioned to my agents at Atlas Talent that I would be moving to Charleston, SC but was still in the game 100%, they wished me luck and told me they'd represent me anytime...if I moved back to NYC or to LA. Thus began my solo journey which has been fantastic! I have recorded spots for almost every industry from fashion to pharmaceutical (and everything in between). Some clients include: Mercedes, Rodale, BA- College of Charleston: Communications (Honors), Film Studies (Honors) Frequently speak on panels in advertising, communications, and photography industries.
