Shelly Fullerton

Voice Description

I have a warm, approachable, smooth, professional, inviting voice. At the same time, I can do edgy, sarcastic, and exasperated with a nice dose of humor. Words frequently used to describe my voice quality are: "silky" , "chocolate", "sexy" , "smooth", warm. My broadcasting and music performance background give me the ability to color words while remaining articulate as well as maintain the stamina to complete large projects. At the same time, my acting experience means I can perform the "woman next door" with a natural, real sound. I can be the busy professional, the exasperated mom, the nurse, the executive...expressive, wry, witty, sarcastic, excited, tender.
