I am a narrator for So Three Inc.'s phone app, Umano, which provides a daily assortment of narrated news and feature articles from current and diverse source materials.
I have also narrated a documentary-style book, The Celebrated Story of Honey Wine, for Bee D'Vine, an emerging company that produces and distributes honey wine. The book will be available as a pod cast on the company's website and is also available on Amazon.
I have trained extensively with Voice One in San Francisco. I have taken classes there with such esteemed professionals as Elaine Clark, Sarah Kliban, Melissa Gray, Kathy Garver, Bob Wood, Tom Chantler, Harlan Hogan, Marvin Greene, Doug Honorof and many other great instructors.
I have also taken scene study and acting classes with Billie Shepard, and on camera classes at the Waterfront Conservatory with Bruce Williams, First Take Acting with Nancy Berwid and Kathy McGraw, and Nancy Hayes Acting Studio with Tim Phillips, as well as improv classes at BATS Improv.
Presently I am training with Edge Studio and have had classes with David Goldberg, Deb Munro, Marjorie Kouns, Tom Dheere, Graeme Spicer, Kristin Price, and Randye Kaye.
I record using Adobe Audition version 6.0 on a MacBook Pro. My microphone is a Rode NT1A and I use a Focusrite Scarlett 212 USB interface.
My BA is in English, and I love the written and spoken word. I have worked in hotel operations, owned an art gallery, and most recently led the fundraising efforts of a not-for-profit organization. I have made countless presentations, and had several public speaking opportunities. These experiences have taught me the importance of clear communication and efficient organization, and even more importantly, the value of building solid relationships. And I'm a mother, which has taught me all of the life lessons I thought I already knew.
As a voice actor, I call upon all of these elements to inform the attitude, tone, character, and overall execution of my delivery. It is an honor and privilege to be invited to collaborate on projects and be a contributing factor in clients' success stories.
