My Voice Experience

Okay...so I haven't been doing this professionally for long, so my list of voiceover jobs consists of a couple of Detroit-area radio commercials and numerous industrials, but my mom reminded me that I've been doing voices my entire life...it just didn't occur to me to try and make a living at it!

I'm an actress, so I use my voices in various roles on camera and stage as well (it's just that you can see me). : )

My Training

I received most of my formal voiceover training from local Detroit legend Dave Simmons. But my extensive professional experience in media relations and communications has also trained me to be an excellent business spokesperson, especially in the areas of healthcare, automotive and banking.

I've also had numerous acting classes including (but not limited to) training at The Purple Rose Theatre (Jeff Daniel's project), The Detroit Repertory Theatre and the University of Detroit Mercy.
