My Voice Experience
I am new to "Voice Over" although I have been using my voice for over 60 years: teaching (English - writing, speaking - at NYU, NYIT, BMCC, Lehman College, Queens College, Fairleigh Dickenson), acting in plays I've written (at Theatre Genesis, and Emerging Artists Theatre - NYC), directing plays, giving presentations in teaching seminars, and raising an only daughter (writing - and reading - bedtime stories). I have recorded my own poems and plays, and perform monologues live at Cornelia Street Cafe's "Monologue Madness" (NYC)
I recorded this spring my commercial demo
