My Training

Communication is my middle name ;-) that is why I decided to attend a special high school where I was able to study English, French and German at high levels and later the School for Interpreters and Translators in Rome, Italy, where I graduated in English and German. After many years spent travelling in some of the most beautiful countries in the world and working as an interpreter and translator I decided to be adopted by my beloved city: Amsterdam. My voice was "discovered" and presented to the most important international voice agency in The Netherlands where it was immediately tested. Since then I enjoy the rare privilege of effortlessly using my natural talent to carry out interesting, funny and informative voice over jobs: a dream. In 2001 I attended a one year course on Voice Awareness by Orfeas John Munsey, experienced musician and performer, and from 2002 till 2005 I attended a three year course on Extra Communication abilities.
