My Voice Experience

I am a lyric coloratura soprano trained as an opera singer in the Bel canto method. I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Voice performance from The University of Victoria, Canada and Graduate Studies at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. I have a clear strong voice and diverse vocal range. My ear is very developed which is why I have an ability to sing in a number of languages: Italian, French, German, Latin, and English. This training has also developed my ear for creating different sounds, colors, tones, and pitches with a healthy vocal method. I love both Commercial and Animated projects. I have extensive live and studio experience as a singer and VO artist. My passion for the human voice and it's flexible and unique abilities has brought me to the art and business of VO.
