Nanci Ponne'

Voice Description

From one end of the spectrum on the "scale of REALITY" to the other, I can offer warmth and professionalism for narrations to screechy, out-of-control psychotics with only a few skips of personalities in between.

And the same is fairly true of animation, however, this scale being broader -- there may be a few more more skips. :)

With formal voice training (Lessac system) and private classical singing instruction that I began as a teen and continued throughout my life,I believe I have the skill set to provide a most satisfactory result.
