My Voice Experience

on long road trips as a child i would entertain my family with a multitude of voices and characters. i had a great ear for mimicry even then. i work in professional theatre and my actual voice over experience is limited. i was contracted to do a radio play (Pliny and the Deaconesses) in 2002 for Rosebud Creek Recordings. i was also contracted by them two years in a row for voice work in a series of online training podcasts to learn English on line.
