My Voice Experience

I have been doing voice-over work since college. There was a film program there in which students liked me to do their narration because of the quality of my voice. Later in my acting career I have been the "Curtain Speech" recording that one would hear at the theatre before the performance begins. Since then I have worked with some NYU graduate students in a multimedia program called ITP, in which my voice has been used for some of there projects (an elevator that talks to you, an interactive video game). I have also been a professional demonstrator for a time; selling products by simply talking about them and demonstrating. I am also a certified New York City tour guide.

Bachelor of Fine Arts in Acting received from Purchase College Conservatory of Theatre Arts and Film (Magna Cum Laude)
