Voice Description

I speak fluent Standard Italian and speak Parisian French (with a lesser degree of fluency). Being a linguist (with a Master's degree in Languages), I can read with a PERFECTLY authentic accent: French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Greek. I can also affect a Southern U.S. drawl and "an upper crust" British English accent.

Additional Skills

All that I can say is: I am a perfectionist by nature, and give every project -- regardless of what it is -- my "all." I have a background in acting, which is ideally suited to dramatic or comedic projects.

Regrettably, it seems to me that many clients ignore statements by artists that readings can be modified, and quickly assign ratings without bothering to ask the artist to modify his/her reading -- an ability which, I am sure, many talents possess. At times directions are not specific enough for a talent to produce -- the first time -- exactly what the client is seeking. Of course, there are some clients who do ask for a modified reading; and then, if they are still not satisfied, I think it perfectly reasonable that they move on to someone else.
