Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am capable of an almost immeasurable amount of characterizations. I am VERY empathetic as an actor thus my voice runs the gamut of human emotion--from bright and cheerful, encouraging and soft to downright sinister and unforgiving, creepy and cranky. In this i excel. I am capable of expressing convincing emotion within any given character's voice or accent.

I am capable of voicing and localizing many accents
American English--dry, mass comm, region-less, southern, new-yorker, jersey, wisconsin, slave-speak, northern proper, southern proper, urban, and valley.

Irish--soft and refined or dubh-linn thick and wild

Trans-Atlantic--great for "a world of tomorrow" or 40's feel

Caribbean--oh so exotic great for story telling and psychic or witchy characters

British RP--general voice over read for ANY British works my most comfortable accent

British Cockney--quite believable which means VERY hard to understand...i've spent a great deal localizing this accent.

Southeastern Australian--roundabouts Perth Melbourne.

NZ--wiley and savage lends itself to comedic timing very well.

Light Russian--I am proud to say my Russians are a newly acquired skill set and being able to dance the line of a Russian woman whose been in the states for a while is a crowning achievement.

Thick Russian--sultry and cold thick accent meant for those most untouchable Russian goddesses

Columbian--sexy, thick and exotic, i often throw spanish terms and words in with this accent to make it more convincing.

My Voice Experience

I have Acting Experience in Stage & Voice for Video Games and Albums.
I have been acting in stage plays since Kindergarten.
Simply put i am a born chameleon i know many people may say this but it is TRULY my gift. I take in and channel out convincingly anything i see around me. I have trained my acting muscle to emote to the finish.
In this, 7 years of Show Choir was a terrific tool to hone some skill of characterization and imagination.
To Date i have voiced one short film "The Devourer" by Jerrell Edwards of TheGreatWukong Studios, a newly released album "Raeta", and ADR characterizations for an unreleased video game for the PC.

My Training

Vocal training and music theory with Ms. Walton and Lee Hanchey.
Operatic Vocal Training with a Tony Award winning Ms Gloria.
I had a home audio studio for 15 years creating music and mixing for projects.

My Studio Equipment

I have currently moved and no longer own the immense Studio i once did. Currently i have audio mixing software such and audacity, Goldwave, premiere, ulead and others. And am familiar with soniq, Rowland, aesis, Casio, and kawaii keyboards, drum machines and synthesizers. I have mixed on aesis equalizing boards.

Additional Skills

I am a Sequential artist by day and dancer by night. Yes, it is clear i will find any way to express the beautiful gifts i possess.

I am currently learning Mandarin Chinese, becoming more fluent in Spanish, and dabbling in Farsi and Hebrew. I'll learn those once Mandarin and Spanish are second nature.
