Voice Description

I have a naturally bubbly, warm sounding voice. I can sound like a very young innocent child or a teenager with an attitude. I have a natural slight southern twang, and I can emphasize it or turn it off. I can impersonate a British accent perfectly. I can sound cute, I can sound sexy. I can sound as young as 3 and as old as 30. I speak very clearly and can speak at very fast paces.

My Home Base

tampa, Florida, United States

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Naturally, I have a southern twang as I was born and raised in Florida. I have the ability to bring it out or harness it. My greatest talent is child or teenager voices. I sound very innocent and sweet by nature, but can absolutely turn up the heat and sound sexy and seducing or like I have an attitude problem. I can execute a perfect British accent, and a rather crude Asian/oriental accent (kind of like Miss Swan from MADtv). I would be a perfect fit for someone looking for a young female voice with versatility.

My Voice Experience

I have no professional experience as a voice over artist. I work for a wireless customer service provider and nearly every customer I have spoken with as well as my co-workers have told me I have a beautiful, unique voice and encourage me constantly to get my name out in the voice over world. I desire more than anything to break into the voice over entertainment industry. I have done voice over for many films by my friends, but again, not professionally. Yet.

My Training

I have a high school diploma and some college education. I have worked in customer service over the phone for 4 years. I studied music education in college, and I am a very talented wind musician. My strongest talents in music are on saxophone, flute, bassoon, and tuba. I have had unimaginable amounts of training in pitch and tone.

My Studio Equipment

I do not have my own studio. I have the ability to record mp3 and WAV formats from my computer, and I am more than willing to travel to any studio if requested.

Additional Skills

I am a very talented actress. Growing up I starred in several plays and musicals. I have no fear or limits when it comes to voice overs. I exercise my voice skills on a daily basis through over the phone customer service.
