My Voice Experience

I am coach for two years in Paris in the first Voice Over school (CVO) founded five years ago by one of the top Voice Over in France, Lorenzo Pancino. My deep voice has led me to perform as narrator of wildlife or historical documentaries for TV or Museums and of Company presentations. I do also TV commercials and DVD trailers. I often do dubbing for documentary films usually playing Presidents or CEOs and many other characters. I am often called for radio jingles and liners or documentary teasers (even in English). Willing to improve a very good international accent, I am now training and working with an american coach to be able to really professionnaly perform in English. I do speak also Russian with a very good soviet accent and occasionaly work with it.

My Training

2003 Coaching Voix Off - Paris- the first Voice Over school founded five years ago by one of the top Voice Over in France, Lorenzo Pancino. Six month training and professionnal test. I am now coach there for two years.
2001 CFPJ (Best Journalism University in France) Training For Radio Journalism and News Flash
Previously working as TV documentarist, I had to direct Voice Overs for TV programms.

For two years, comedy practice at "Atelier A" directed by Philippe Naud, coach for several famous french actors and former assistant of Blanche Salan and Paul Weaver, introducers of the Actor Studio in France at the American Center of Paris.
I often play small characters for movies waiting for more... and also I am also invited to improvise characters during post-synchronisation sessions for french movies. One of my aims is to become the french voice of a Hollywood star for dubbed films because my voice offers such perspectives, therefore I am training on dubbing technics with professionals (doing serials like "Bold").
