Voice Over to me is the opportunity to explore story, idea, language, range, truth, presentation and character.
I have a host of experience, which I will list shortly, but my greatest experience was working with a veteran Voice Over artist from Regina, SK. At 73, this classy lady was still willing to dive into a very imaginative children's role as a dragon. Her vocal range was incredible, her physicality of character a treat. In a difficult role she has made voice over look effortless and fun. What as inspiration!
My experience:
Acting at the University of Regina
- vocal coaching, commercials, cartoons, narrations, presentations, speeches, monologues, ADR on film, television advertisement, played characters of many accents in plays

This is the part of the resume where I make a long list of some amazing experiences I have had and workshops which have inspired my to pursue Voice Over as a professional career.

Aside from training in the many facets of voice over and performance I possess strong technical, organizational, and professional communication skills which allow me to communicate and organize effectively in the demands of the voice over industry.
I have worked in communications and administration under the demands and pressure of industry standards, but more over enjoy working with people. I believe my strong organizational skills, training and experience combined with my creativity and love of people allows me to achieve the standards and demands of the client while being a joy and ease to work (play) with.
Good luck with finding the right pitch . . no pun intended.
