Voice Description

Multilingual expert. My voice skills range from a
professional journalistic or corporate tonality to
anything in between, including playful, over-the-top,
authoritative, interpretive and creative.

My voice can be straightforward and professional,
warm and kind, deep and pensive, serious, youthful, sexy and adventurous.

I have provided voice-over services for TV documentary programs, news, educational videos on health, science, medical procedures & nutrition, children's books and commercial radio (predominantly Latino/Hispanic market).

I speak five languages fluently. I can "fool" anyone with a perfect English accent (upper class & cockney), American Southern, Yankee and English with Hispanic & French accents.
I can also do a nice Caribbean dialect (i.e "da islands, y'know!"... Barbados, Trinidad, Jamaica, etc.)

I can speak Spanish with a Mexican, Castillian or Caribbean (Puerto Rican or Cuban) accent.

I speak beautiful Brazilian Portuguese as well as French & Italian. I interpret scripts creatively, and have experience both receiving and giving audio direction.

Additionally, I've been singing for many years. My repertoire includes jazz, Brazilian & Latin American standards among other genres.
