My Voice Experience

It was one of those dream Hollywood moments where I was speaking with a friend, waiting in line at a coffee shop, when I received a tap on the shoulder with a producer asking me to read for him in a children's animation series. Since then, my voice has been used in commercial and script reading. I am also a stand-up comedian with range of character impressions at the heart of my work...

My Training

I attended University of California, San Diego for my undergraduate studies in Mathematics. I later attended MIT for Graduate work.

Voice Over training specifics have been with Marc Grau and Betty Zoller workshops. Additionally, have taken courses with Margie Haber for acting.

I am classically trained in piano, oboe and trumpet, and have been very involved in the arts since 4 years old.

My Studio Equipment

I work with Marc Grau at fix in the mix, his studios offer four digital studios with ISDN Studios , MP3 and FTP capability for a sound that’ll "knock your socks off".

Additional Skills

Application of life experience is necessary to expert voice over. I have been in my life-time a cheerleader, athlete, artist, executive, girlfriend, fiance, daughter, sister, nurturer, lover, etc...tapping into my own personal experiences helps me truly play the role over the microphone.

True observation of other human behavior also helps, I have managed health clubs for many years and the amount of "characters" that I have come across has led to quite a range of roles. Also, being an executive in my field has given me necessary experience to present the professional voice.

Additionally, I am a stand up comic and I practice character development nightly on stage. A small sampling of my work is listed on my website

Excited about the upcoming opportunities!
