My Voice Experience

Can you say Amblycorypha oblongifolia in a sexy voice? That was my challenge in recording the voiceover for a CD introducing cricket and katydid calls for a Field Guide to Night-Singing Insects of the Northeast (published recently by Stackpole Books). The project required a deep, warm, appealing voice to spice up the text, as well as precise pronunciation of Latin genus and species names, and the creative approximation of some of the insect sounds. "Skriiiitch-it"

I have also recorded character voices for two cassette tapes published and distributed by Weekly Reader Corporation. Here I employed dramatic interpretation to enliven various skit scenearios.

In addition, I have performed poetry readings sponsored by the New York State Council of the Arts, done public-speaking presentations, and frequently read Scripture for broadcast on local cable TV.

My Training

I have a degree in English Literature and Theater, and learned vocal interpretation in my college drama courses.

I also have a teaching certificate in English/Lanugage Arts. So I know how words should sound, the correct cadence and syntax of a sentence, the arc of a dramatic story, and the range and tone of emotional expression.

My life-long experience as a choral singer has also given me excellent training in pronunciation and expression. I'm not talking about school glee club here; I have performed in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and Poughkeepsie Opera House, to name a few.

My Studio Equipment

We have rudimentary recording capability in our home office, and are capable of using a basic computer program for adjusting levels and editing. However, I am more comfortable and prefer working in your professional recording studio.

Additional Skills

I am a published writer, professional editor, and wordsmith. I compose educational materials in literature, drama, and nonfiction for young adults, and I edit a broad range of written material for adults. I am capable, therefore of suggesting and/or make rewrites in text as may be required.

I take great joy in translating the written word into colorful, vibrant spoken word. I hope I can use my vocal skills to assist you in bringing your project to successful fruition!
