As a vocalist, I have studied voice on-and-off for more than 30 years. When I sing, I'm a perfectionist for pitch and inflection. For voice over work, I listen to my clients and take direction well.
As a TV news reporter, my daily voice over work included six-years'-worth of everything from traffic fatalities to city hall shenanigans, but my specialty was the arts and genuinely moving human interest features.
Currently, on KTEP public radio, my half-hour weekly program features relaxed interviews on the arts -- my radio voice is key to holding listeners.
As a teaching artist, I work extensively with incarcerated juveniles, using my voice to engage, stimulate and sooth. I practice and teach T'ai Chi and Chi Gung. As a professional singer and recording artist, my voice is my instrument and capable of producing a satisfying array of colorations and nuances.
