My Voice Experience
My first ever voice over project was in Minsk, Belorus when I read the English dialog for a language training program in 1989. More recently,I have been providing Australian and South African voices to leadership and other corporate training materials for SkillSoft, a European training company. Toastmasters training and over 30 years in international business have honed my narration, training and presentation skills with a wide range of technical and corporate material. Reading with the Perkins School for the Blind has given me experience in non-fiction and fiction narration.
