My Voice Experience

My most recent booking with Voice 123 was with Digital Blowfish, Inc. out of Singapore. Before that, I spent the last year(2010) as part of the exclusive, national talent roster at the Studio Center where I recorded numerous commercials and narrations, including medical. I've booked with Audioworks, Northern Lights Post, Inc., and Agit-Pop Media here in NYC. My first venture into voice over was in the early 90s at WEZF-FM in Burlington, VT where I did commercials for radio broadcast. Later, I was featured on WBUR-FM's HERE AND NOW program with the Class Acts Theater Troupe. I've trained extensively in Voice Movement Training, a technique which utilizes full body access as a resource for vocal expression. I've also studied Singing and have performed regularly on stage and in film over 30 years. I've had private coaching in Voice-over, have studied the Overview of VO Industry, Marketing and Home Studio with the Edge Studio here in NYC. As an improvisor, character actor and singer, I have a wide and varied vocal range and have a broadcast quality home studio at your service.
