My Voice Experience

My voice can be heard on the recently aired Discovery Channel special Who Survives, narrating the story of two hikers who push the limits of human endurance while stuck in the wild.

Apart from my work with Discovery, I’ve recorded with Dunkin Donuts, TV Land, the Beetle Bailey/Dr. Romanelli blog, and the NYC Dept. of Transportation among others.

I recently studied under Valerie Smaldone who described my voice best when she said, “just reading the spots as you did made the copy sound so easy and real and fresh.”

Check out a few of the latest videos to hit the Beetle Bailey blog and the Effie Award winning Hot In Cleveland/TV Land submission tape at my website.
