My Voice Experience

I really found my niche in voice-over working for Toyota (TDA) for over five years. I always aspire to add a fresh approach to the traditional announcer tone, I've worked on various National and Regional campaigns and always bring a professional, fun tone to the project. I am a theatrically-trained, working actress and love to turn-on the acting for commercials, books on tape and narratives. Intimate, fun, informative and conversational tones are my specialty. Some of the best surprises of my career have been the fun I've had recording voice directories!
