Voice Description

My experience ranges from live announcing to radio commercials. To describe my signature voice in one word, I'd have to say "jazzy". My delivery can be smooth, deep and sexy for radio or television commercials, smoky for radio imaging, commanding and upbead for a hard sell promo, soft and conversational for soft sell promos. My experience with business presentations and multimedia is vast with a neutral and clear delivery that is also suitable for narration and documentaries. If you need a friendly and informational tone for telephone messages, I'm the woman.
