Voice Description

My voice is extremely feminine and soothing on the ear. People like to listen to me and believe what I tell them as I sound professional and convincing without being brash or in your face.
People find my voice sensual and enjoy its musicality. There is a warmth to my voice that works extremely well in commercials and promotions.
My voice can be what you want it to be, depending on the project. Having acted for years and also worked in radio my voice is versatile and adaptable.
Non-English speakers find my voice very easy to understand as it is clear and precise. This is useful if you are selling to a wide market and for e-learning projects.
