Susan Evind

I am a quick study for dialects and accents, i.e., British, Scottish, Irish, German, Italian, French, East Indian, Yiddish, American Western, Mid-Western and even the old San Francisco accent. Any of these accents can be used for comedic travelogues, or documentaries, or narrative histories. Even for commercial work!

My background is in theatre (BA) which includes years in acting, directing, speech, book narrations, and work on documentaries. Since 2005, I have had a website, www.mysfstories.com, which features authentic stories about old San Francisco, that I've audio recorded for the site. For many years I have narrated books (novels, storybooks) for elementary, middle and high schools for use in English and Special Education classes, as aids to learning literature and better speech. Most recently have completed the voice over coaching program with Such A Voice.com. I worked with a local voice over production company, and have set up a voice over story website featuring San Francisco history. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre, am a classically trained actor, and have done several years of community theatre in the San Francisco Bay Area. My music background is in piano and singing. Studio on site with NT1-A Rode microphone, Scarlett USB Focusrite recording interface system, and have used Audacity for several years as a great recording and editing tool. I can deliver projects through email and Drop Box. I have written voice over scripts; edited, performed and audio-recorded books for educational purposes. I've done retail, telemarketing (cold-calling!) as well as dispatching for a hospital medical service. Other professional work I've done: acting and voice teacher, retail, computer processing, instructional aide in schools, children's literature writing certification, meditation practitioner and teacher. I've worked in wineries in the Northern CA wine country and would like to do spot announcements for vineyards & wineries. Also can do cartoon style characterizations!
