Voice Description

My voice is rich with humor and character ~ strong, warm and personable. My pronunciation is exceptional.
As a voice over talent I cover a wide range. My bouncy and joyful tone is perfect for commercials and animation / cartoons. My relaxed, authoritative and confident tone is excellent for professional voice over services such as narration, news and A/V presentations.
My natural North American voice has no accent. I can perform North-East urban (New York / Boston,) Southern and British accents with style and humor.
North American English is my strongest voice, delivered with a lot of power. I speak Spanish as a second language.
