I can perform babies, kids all the way up to their grandmother. I can speak with a British and a Jamaican accent. I can speak as if I am from California, Texas, DC to the Bronx. I can read Spanish fluently therefore I am able to perform copy written in the Spanish language. I also sing and can perform the singing voice for a commercial as well as the voice over. I can also impersonate baby cries as well as animals such as, meowing like a cat, mooing like a cow, barking like a dog, quacking like a duck, crow like a rooster and things of that nature.

I have been performing voice over since I was a child, but on a more professional level, I began to work as a reporter for my college television show where I had to perform in front of a camera as well as speak over video for a news package. I also hosted the show for UNC Greensboro. I voiced for commercial work. I served as co-anchor for my school's news show at CSB. I have made commercials for Clear Channel radio stations as well as performed sweepers for radio shows. I have also read books for narration as well as for characters when books were made into videos and audio tapes.
