My Voice Experience

While Voice123 is my first foray into voice-over work specifically, it's definitely not my first time in front of a microphone. Whether it's been singing on a stage as a balladeer in Sweden, or doing take after take of a song for my latest EP at the legendary Sunset Sound, I've got plenty of experience fully expressing a message in a recording environment.
I've always been a quick study, and quite simply enjoy the work and process of getting words, spoken or sung, recorded right. I've been told I'm easy and fun to work with; in addition to that, I know what it means to be good at communicating and being on time with projects.

My Training

I graduated with a major in French, and received a degree from a French language school in Angers, France.
From the age of 6, I studied classical piano and performed in various competitions and recitals. I started playing classical guitar and cello in my teenage years, and since then have been a singer/songwriter writing and performing my own music on many stages. I have a great deal of experience with microphones both in live performance and in studio recording situations, and that informs my voice-over work.
Throughout my schooling, I also took part in a lot of theatrical productions, and learned a great deal about how to use my voice in the most powerful and efficient way possible.
Listen, I just love talking into a microphone!

My Studio Equipment

I own a Macintosh desktop, and am well-versed in Garageband recording and editing. My microphone is a Blue Snowball.

Additional Skills

I've always enjoyed learning about new cultures and love taking a lot of information in on different subjects. I think this informs my work and approach to projects by giving me an expansive world view; it allows me to bring a rich life experience to whatever I do.
Growing up in a multi-lingual household where Armenian and English were spoken, in addition to Farsi, Spanish and French, as allowed me to pick up accents and mimic different voices and sounds with great ease.
