My Voice Experience

As a former class clown, I grew up mocking teachers, TV characters and singers on the radio.

What started out to be a silly hobby, helped to hone my skills as a vocalist into my teenage years. During that time, I began singing Jazz, R&B and Gospel at school performances and local venues. My performance carried over to stage and screen as I began hosting a local talk show geared towards teenagers in Southern California, working as an extra in both independent and major motion pictures, and performing in gospel plays.

My first voice-over experience began over 13 years ago with reading PSAs for cable radio shows and public access television. Since then, I have provided voice over services in the following areas:

Instructional Videos
Radio Ads
Company voice mail/phone systems
Public Address Announcing
Songs (background vocals, demo tracks, and character voices)

My Training

Bachelor of Arts Degree - Major; Communications (Public Relations), Minor; Music (Audio Recording & Music Synthesis)
