Voice Description

I have an extremely versatile tone, allowing me to take on both female and male roles. I have been working as a character voice actress for years, with the majority of the characters being little boy in cartoons. I have warm and deep tones with a raspy edge. My voice is very playful and its range is huge- anything from a 4 year old boy to a sexy woman.

I speak Spanish so can easily take on a role that requires Spanish speaking actress. I can do several dialects including proper British, cockney, latina, New York, southern, urban, and Indian. Finally, I can do impressions- anyone from John Travolta to Natalie Merchant!

Ultimately, I have a voice suitable for character roles as well as straightforward commercial roles.

My Voice Experience

I have been a voice actress for my entire life...it's only within the past 5 years that I have been doing it professionally!
