My Voice Experience

I am a working actress...I have starred in eighteen national tours, have played all over the U.S. and Canada and have sung in Madison Square Garden and Fenway Park. I have made a living as a professional actor/singer for 25 years, working nationwide in theatre.

As I travel extensively, I am sometimes selective in the voice projects I am able to take, but I do travel with my equipment and have done many projects on the road. I have film and television experience as well.

I have been a voice actor for the past 12 years and have done hundreds of voice over projects, including commercials, radio, websites, phone lines, voicemail and on hold messages, anime, voice acting and audio books. I have been the spokesperson for Gladhill Furniture (D.C area) for the past 14 years and have several repeat clients.

If you're looking for a clear, vibrant and strong voice... look no further.

My Training

I have a BA in Theatre from Va. Tech, but my best training comes from doing close to 200 theatrical productions, including 18 national tours, extensive regional work, several one-woman shows and using those talents to satisfy a lot of voice over clients.

I am very comfortable in a recording studio, whether it's acting or singing, but I am equally comfortable in an egg crate closet. I think my training and voice will speak for itself.

My Studio Equipment

Pro Tools LE 8.0.4, M Box, broadcast condenser and Shure microphones, Bose headphones

Additional Skills

As you have probably figured out by now, I am also a singer and would love doing more jingles. I am extremely conscientious and meticulous, and always work until it's right.
