Voice Description

My natural voice is warm and soothing. It often reminds people of the types of radio personalities who do late night radio programs that play r&b - like "night moods".
This kind of voice might be right for narrations, presentations, and certain kinds of commercials.

I speak German and Portuguese fairly naturally.

My Voice Experience

I got interested in doing voiceovers because some friends of mine did projects on the radio while in college. It sounded like fun. Also, my sister-in-law is in costume design for film and has friends who currently do voiceovers for the sci-fi channel and other high profile opportunities.

Besides my own voice mail greetings, I don't have any work experience, however, i have done extensive research about voiceovers on the internet to find out what would be expected of me and my demo. Due to technical constraints, my demo is 40 secs, well below the 1min 30sec industry standard, but from what i've read, only 20secs or so of the demo are usual listened to anyway.

I'm easy to work with and take direction well.

I look forward to working with you soon.
