My Voice Experience

I am a trained actress with a Masters Degree in Acting from the University of Washington. I am trained in many vocal techniques (Roy Hart, Linklater, IPA, singing in various styles, Shakespeare, and commercial and narrative voiceover).

I have extensive promotional and spokesperson experience and have worked several corporate training conferences and trade shows. I've worked all over the country and am familiar with many cultures and communities.

I'm also an on-camera talent and a stage actor. I've recorded vocals for children's albums, choral work, and voiceovers for stage works. I am eager to start my voiceover career and put my training to the test! Check out my demo to get a sense of what I can do!
