I decided to pursue a career in voice-over's because people constantly comment on my voice. A few years ago, it popped into my head that I should look into doing voice-over's, so I decided to take coaching lessons and produce professional reels in 2013. I produced a Commercial reel and an animation reel which I have included as my demos. The thing that really cemented my decision to go into voice over's was when I was asked by someone who overheard me talking to my husband, whether I did voice-over's. The person told me that I should just go on open casting calls and told my husband that he could retire on my voice. I decided that rather than just go on open casting calls, I would take voice coaching lessons, so I did my research and signed up with PDR Voice Coaching in New York City. That was not the first time someone had asked me whether I did voice over's, so I feel that it is a testament to the gift of my voice. My voice is very unique. People always remember who I am, based on my voice. Even if I only speak to someone once, if I call back they say that they remember me because of my voice. I believe that I have what it takes to become successful in voice over's and I am willing to work hard to attain the goal that I set forth to make it into a career. I practice every day, so that I keep improving and gaining confidence in my ability to execute convincing, fun, and energetic reads.

New York based talent recording from my home Pro Tools studio.
