Voice Description

I have always been told I have a great voice, some say sexy, some say sweet, nice or love to listen to it. I have recorded a couple of VM systems and been asked to do others. I have been approached by customers calling for technical support, sales, purchasing... they have asked me for phone sex... but I have always been interested in doing like cartoons, been told from a young age I would be great at that, so always had an interest in that, all my pets have their own voices, with their own accents and their own backstory... very creative mind.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I try to do accents, and I do accents, although if they are recognizable I have no idea, but I do eastern block, say russian, and I do a british/english, I don't really do impersonations, my voice isn't like that, and I have never tried, although I do belt out a good Gwen Stefani, or Madonna.. whether or not you think its good is debatable.

My Voice Experience

I have done voicemail systems for a couple of companies in Silicon Valley, I was an employee, and seems as though I am always the one chosen for this, as a result I have had other companies approach me for the same.
I have done recordings for adult type of business, recordings that people would purchase and listen to.

My Training

when i was young I did musical theatre, I have always been interested in singing and making different voices, as to training, I have no formal training.

My Studio Equipment

My ex husband and still my best friend has a recording studio, he plays instruments and records for bands, as well as his own band, he has a very professional set up, but I have no idea what any of it is, and I know he uses pro tools, or something like that.

Additional Skills

I have worked in a variety of positions such as Sr. Buyer, AP/AR, HR, Office Mgr., Sales, Tech Support and have been successful at them all.
Currently I am working as the voice over a phone sex line but again I have recorded vm systems, recorded a song, have made up my own songs and have sang them to my nieces and nephews for different holidays, they especially like my easter bunny one. I think that I just have a unique talent and I am sure that a lot of people think that, but I really do in that my voices come with a backstory to them which I think gives them more credibility and even if the person that is listening to the final product isn't aware of the methods I use, it does make for a more believable and authentic voice for them to hear.
