Voice Description

Thank you for visiting! In 2009, I had the honor of announcing the MTV VMA's live from Radio City, calling for New York attitude (minus the accent), cool and hip. My voice is fairly flexible, so I have done teenage voices for Macy's and Spike TV's, The Smoking Gun, while being able to transition to sexy, warm and flirty for clients like Footlocker, Garnier, Schick, EMusic and South Korean fashion company, Ococo. My voice lends itself to the raspy side, has an Everyman feel to it, desirable yet attainable with always the promise of fun! Recently, I have moved into the promo and industrial fields, calling for a direct and honest approach to the material. I can have a girl next door quality; conversational, approachable, serious but friendly. I bring a smile and sense of humor wherever I can. I hope to hear from you!

My Voice Experience

I've had a great time doing v/o's for several clients. Announcing the '09 MTV VMA's was a blast, especially working with Emmy Award winner, Sue Pelino of the Creative Group! Most recent work includes playing the protagonist in a click-and-point adventure game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft called Miskatonic (miskatonicgame.com), a national Dunkin Donuts radio spot, industrials for Garnier and Macy's (Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus!), a film trailer for an independent feature, a PSA for the ONDCP (Office of National Drug Control Policy) which is currently airing in the midwest via radio, an animated videogame for DimensionU, where I both narrated and played a teenage girl, a PBS spot for Grafton, VT and a tv spot for the new adult channel, Grind. BB&T Bank has been airing on both radio and tv for over a year. The most fun I've had was creating several voices for Spike TV's, The Smoking Gun. Animation allows me to flex the acting muscle a bit! I was fortunate to do a string of Ocean Spray commercials for both radio and tv (Bart Smith audio). Other clients include: McDonald's, EMusic, Sprint, Volkswagen, Footlocker, Nextel, Miller Lite, Macy's, Schick, MonsterBoard, PBS, etc. I am NYC based.

My Training

BFA Acting from Ithaca College, 1995
Don Buchwald (Voiceovers Unlimited), 1998
Peter Rofe (my first successful demo. Thanks Peter!) 1999

I grew up a dancer and stage performer. 12 years ago, after doing an Off-Broadway show and the National Tour of West Side Story as Anybodys, I was inspired to cut a v/o demo. I didn't like the way it turned out, so I cut another one. I was fortunate to sign with Access Talent, Inc. (Chas Cowing and Linda Weaver) in 2000. I also freelance with Flatirons Creative Management, while actively pursuing my own work. Union status: SAG/AFTRA/FI-CORE

My Studio Equipment

Samson G Track USB microphone, HP laptop, pop screen, shock mount, SE Electronics project studio reflexion filter

Additional Skills

I am easy to work with, punctual and professional. I have produced my own work on stage, working as a producer and choreographer. Outside of the field, I have also been a manager, hiring and organizing staff and seeing the general functioning of several bar/restaurants. I am a people person and incredibly grateful for any and all work that's come my way.
