My Voice Experience

While I have no professional experience doing voice overs, I have been told that I should begin this career, because of my acting ability and my crazy impersonations and accents. I am a music teacher with years of performance experience in musical theater and teaching.That experience brings with it my ability to speak with good diction, improvise different characters and project my voice well.

I believe that if given the opportunity, I could be very successful and provide a good product for someone looking for my type of voice.

Additional Skills

I currently serve as director of a Musical Theater company here in Brandon, Florida. My job is to oversee the daily training of the company, as well as work on dramatic and vocal performances of the students. I am very aware of vocal projection and diction in my students and insist on it when my students are speaking lines or singing songs.
I am professional and a perfectionist and would do a very good job for you.

I am looking to expand into voice overs because I feel it will allow me to utilize my strengths and experience.
