Voice Description

For commercials, my voice can be smart, warm, and, if needed, a little neurotic, a la Cynthia Nixon. Can also sound young.

For narrations, my voice can be extremely articulate and informed.

I have really strong British accents, including Cockney and upper class and Irish as well. I also have great French, Southern and Russian accents.

I have a great little kid voice, which is perfect for cartoons.

My Voice Experience

Last Fall/Winter I had a national VO running for a Macy' Holiday campaign.

I have contributed voices and sung on tracks for Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs, Whirlpool, Motorola and several others.

I work as an in-house voiceover artist for a commercial house in New York and am called in to do everything from creating the voice of an angry dinosaur in a Hummer commercial, to just saying "Ah" for a Planter's Peanuts spot.

I love putting on the headphones and getting down to business!

My Training

I got my undergraduate degree from Yale and my Master of Fine Arts degree from the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, but once I started pursuing voiceover work seriously, I studied with Peter Rofe, the greatest VO coach in the world!

Additional Skills

I believe I have a particular skill in taking direction and really figuring out exactly what the client wants, while at the same time, always bringing my own creativity to a project.

I'm also always on time and happy to be there!

I've acted professionally all over the country and I teach communication skills workshops to corporate people, helping them get over their fear of public speaking.

I have performed a ton of lead roles in Shakespeare plays outdoors, calling on my vocal support and articulation.
