My Voice Experience

I got into voice over work backwards. I am an advertising agency executive with a considerable background in presenting work, new business pitches, and in employee training sessions. I have done a variety of copywriting work including writing speeches, scripts, and advertising spots. Working in New York, my non-abrasive, clear and professional voice often became the default for recording demo ads, presentation voice overs, podcasts, even telephone voice mail messages. I realized my voice was marketable and have slowly built a business around it. Though I am still an ad gal, my heart is in the voice business.

My Training

George Washington University, Bachelor of Business Information

My Studio Equipment

I record using a shock mounted dynamic omnidirectional mike (RE50N/D-B) in a sound-proof home studio and do my editing and mixing using Sony Vegas Studio. I have a sound effects and music library of royalty free recordings.

Additional Skills

I am an experienced script doctor and advertising exec. I can help you make your script easier to hear (and read), easier to understand, more focused, and more persuasive.

I can turn-around projects very quickly with broadcast quality--320 kpbs CD Transparent.
