Voice Description

I delight in pleasing my clients, whether they need a silly Goldilocks voice, a sultry vixon, the girl next door, a hard-hitting newscaster or just a friendly, knowledgable woman presenting some new information.
I am a good mimic, too. European, southern belles, Arkansas twangs, as well as German, French and other accents are all voices that I enjoy playing with.
More than anything, I've been told that my voice is easy to listen to and I sound credible.
I see my voice as an instrument. It's not always right for every song, but there's no way to know, until you hear it.

My Voice Experience

I have been the voice talent for phone message machines, radio commercials, training videos for Boeing and video productions for Microsoft. I have also worked as a disc jockey and have had my voice used for the cockpit voice on the Boeing 777. In commercial radio, I've been used by Ben Bridge, Black Angus, Midas Muffler, NW Women's Conference, Benefis Medical Center, Pasta Montana, Kaufman's Mens Store and I have been a regular voice talent for Media Pro video productions, which are used all over the US. I've been doing this a long time, so the list is a bit long. I have a demo tape and am always willing to do a cold read over the phone, as well.
