Voice Description

For commercials, I specialize in female character voices, such as mom, busybody, best friend, sultry/vixen, teenager and others.

For narrations, I offer a warm, educated read or a lighter, fun read.

For presentations, I read in a smooth, professional voice.

For telephony, I read in a lighter, friendly style.
