Voice Description

I have a nice pleasant sounding voice, and have a talent for mimicry. I have near perfect pitch and a three octave range. I can be seductive, childish and silly, proper and snotty CT accent. I can be professional, and I can have an accent that is foreign-sounding. I can say foreign phrases and sound like a native speaker of that language, particularly Spanish and French. I have the ability to be very loud, can imitate loud sounds and noises. I am very coach-able and can sound how you want me to. In a word, adaptable.

My Voice Experience

I used to make my family laugh when I'd perfectly imitate the vocals on a Perdue Chicken commercial when I was a child. I imitate funny voices and phrases that are in commercials, movies and TV shows. I also found it a fun way to spend an afternoon reading the funny pages into a tape recorder, using a funny voice and "quotes" around everything the characters said.
Voices come so naturally for me it's sometimes hard for me to recognize it as a talent.
Since getting voice over training, I have done a couple of PSA's and a radio comedy drama for the holidays at a local radio station. I'm still learning the audio engineering part of this that does not come naturally, It's a skill that I'm slowly improving upon.

Additional Skills

I'm very good at speaking/singing after my heart rate has been brought up, like on a bike ride. I have excellent breath control, and can be very loud or very soft. ( The only school superlative I ever got growing up was "loudest").
I'm an artists model, currently working all over the San Francisco bay area for several art schools and private art instruction groups, as well as for individual artists. I have modeled clothes and fine jewelry for local retailers, and have done hair modeling. I enjoy the opportunity to show off, and I know how to act in many different situations.
I was cast in leading male roles in college theater productions: Communicating Doors, as Julian; The Rover, as the Rover. And my first stage role was as Helen of Troy in the Euripides play Orestes. I am also a natural dancer, not formally trained in any one style. I am very comfortable in my body, and have performed in avant-garde art pieces requiring unusual movement and/or sound.
