My Voice Experience

Currently auditioning for commercial voiceovers.

I have provided voiceover talent for business power point presentations, voicemail greetings, and p.a. system announcements. I was also part of a team that created and recorded role play scenes for an on-line educational program.

My Training

Currently studying with voiceover coach and casting director Sherri Hodes in NYC.

I've studied the Lessac Approach with Nancy Krebs (Lessac Master Teacher) in Maryland.

I have extensive theatre and on-camera training and experience, have a B.A. from Kalamazoo College (Kalamazoo, MI) and have studied at Schreiber Studio with Mary T. Boyer. I am currently a member of the WorkShop Theater Company in NYC.

My Studio Equipment

I have a home studio with a Samson G-track microphone and Audacity recording software on my PC. I am able to record, save files as mp3s and send them via e-mail. I also live in NYC, so I am in close proximity to professional studios.

Additional Skills

I am easy to work with, professional and punctual. Looking for non-union work until I join the unions.

I am creative, improv easily, and enjoy making copy sound natural and interesting whether it's a commercial, narration or instruction.
