My Voice Experience

My first venture into voice over was in the early 90s at a radio station in Burlington, VT where I did a few commercials. Later, while living in Boston, I was featured on WBUR's HERE AND NOW program with Class Acts Theater Troupe doing a politicized re-telling of a Dr. Seuss story. During this time, I trained in Voice Movement Training, a technique which utilizes fully body access as a resource for vocal expression. I also studied singing and performed regularly on stage and in film. Most recently, I have voiced for for political animation on line. For over 20 years, I have utilized my voice for creative purposes. As an improvisor, characterization specialist and singer, I have a wide and varied vocal range. Currently I am living and working in New York City to focus more fully on my voice over career.
