My Voice Experience

I have done voiceover training both with Voicetrax in Sausalito CA and with Voice Actor's Studio in San Francisco. I have been an actor since the early 70's when I toured with the Bread and Puppet Theater and did the narration for our performances in the parks outdoors where it was said I could be heard a mile away! I sing and speak in French, in fact I'm performing songs of Edith Piaf tonight! My voice is exceptionally soothing and I have used it to heal people, in fact I have often been told to record "sleep-over" tapes to help people relax.
I have recently done both radio ads, shows and interviews.
I have also done several phone systems.

My Training

I have a Masters degree in Theater Education and have, as stated above done two complete Master's levels training in Voice Over in Sausalito and San Francisco and am in the process of putting my demo together. I can grab the attention of a large corwd as well as speak intimately into one person's ear. I am a theater director and an actor and have been invovled in 100s of productions. Over the years I have taught theater in colleges both here, in France and in China.
I was filmed recently for a TV series on a healing modality called Cellular Memory Release for Public TV.

My Studio Equipment

I work with friend's equipment

Additional Skills

I can sound very professional and very young and silly. I command a wide range of attributes, my best voice is "purple" or sexy. I can also do "black" serious for PSAs and "yellow" excited for commercials. I love to tell stories, do characters and I listen to audio books all the time. I believe that voice is the primary sales instrument and when people hear me they can't say no. I have a very alluring and trust-worthy resonance with people. This is why I prefer to work on projects with a lot of integrity as I believe in the power of my voice to convince and seduce.
