Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Proficient in several dialects, including Standard British, Cockney, Irish, New York, Midwestern, Southern Belle, and 'Country/Redneck' Southern. And my Southern dialect is authentic, as I'm originally from Alabama.

I'm also excellent at portraying a number of age ranges - from young child (girl or boy!), to teenage girl, to soccer mom, to grandmother!

My Voice Experience

I'm a graduate of Nancy Wolfson's Braintracks Audio course of study.

I began working as a voice talent in 2003, focusing on commercial work. I've done spots for McDonalds, Palmyra Medical Center, Southern Living Magazine, the Alabama State Bar, and Gatlinburg Tourism, to name a few.

My strength lies in the fact that I've been an actor for over 10 years, beginning with theatre studies in college. Naturalism and believability come very easily for me.

I have home recording capabilities - Audacity for PC, recording with a Rode mic. But I'm also conveniently located in Los Angeles, CA and am more than happy to come to you!
