My Voice Experience

I honed by craft by reading and enacting hundreds of children's books and bedtime stories over the years for my sons, who always responded positively to my soothing voice.

I am also an on-camera actor active in my local film, commercial, and voiceover industry. I have voiced regional commercial and political radio/TV spots, as well as character work for iPhone apps.

I also currently take ongoing improvisation, acting technique, voice, and voiceover workshops to bring my reads to life. I am currently studying with Nancy Wolfson of Braintracks Audio in Los Angeles.

Additional Skills

Want a responsive, disciplined multi-tasker with a strong work ethic to voice your project? Need fast turnaround? I'm your gal!

I do on-camera acting for film and commercials, and I strongly believe in on-going acting and voiceover training.

I have a MBA education and have worked in many industries. I understand business and financial terminology well for your eLearning, industrial, and corporate narrative projects.

I am also a fitness freak. I regularly do yoga, pilates, step aerobics, and dance which are all extremely beneficial to my breathing and movement technique as a voiceover professional. Growing up, I had extensive training in dance, piano, and percussion instruments.

I have excellent analytical and organizational skills and understand ad copy and marketing.
