Voice Description

Clear, crisp, and friendly great for children's narrations. Quirky and off beat for any young character male or female. High soprano singer. Deep and sultry for a sexy professional woman. Can speak in a squeaky, higher voice for toddlers and babies. Very animated for young teens, and also adept at a valley girl type accent. I can also do a Disney princess type sound, including the singing voice. Great at high pitched noises and screams.

My Voice Experience

As a child I was often called in for voice over projects including many Disney, Nickolodeon, and Cartoon Network shows. I worked for years with children and have found it very easy to imitate their vocal styles. I have worked my whole life in musical theatre as well. Professionally I spent my childhood working for Disney on various promos for the Disney Channel. I also was featured in their film 'The Parent Trap.' Recently I have sung on stage and also record demos of my singing voice every now and then. I have good energy and think m voice would lend itself well to any sort of character work, especially if it is focused toward children!

My Training

I studied Drama at the University California Irvine. I took many classes pertaining to voice, diction, clarity, and vocal performance.

My Studio Equipment

I do not have a studio. But I have a friend who runs a full service recording studio in Yorba Linda, CA.

Additional Skills

Musical theatre skills and improv are two great skills I have from years on stage. I also have breath support from years of singing and dancing. I have studied diction as well, and am very good at cold readings. I did commercials as a child, and am great at selling product and have a great on camera energy.
