Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

My natural voice has no regional accent. I was born and raised in Northern Montana.

My Voice Experience

One of my most widely-heard VOs is now playing on a radio show in 50 cities. My voice is also currently playing on homes page of clients' websites.

I am a retired publisher. I published the annual HIV/AIDS Resources directory for 12 years. Every year my staff and I would call the 20,000 listed agencies throughout the United States to verify the data that would subsequently be published in printed format.

While working to update the directory, people would always remember my voice and comment on the pleasant tone.

Through that business, I was talking to every regional dialect in the United States and had a chance to practice when making the verification calls. I also learned to be animated and upbeat even when exhausted and making calls to people who weren't always friendly or nice.

My Training

I am extensively involved in music production engineering with my husband in our professional studio.

See the description regarding experience.

Additional Skills

I have worked and been involved in technical and medical fields all my life, and more recently, the music / entertainment industry. The pronunciation of the vocabularies of each of these fields comes naturally to me. It is rare that I stumble across a term or word that doesn't roll off my tongue. And if I do, within a short time I master it.
