I began voicing for radio and television in 1987 for various department stores, chain stores, and the usual suspects which led to industrial recording. I voiced the tracks used for the manual version of the fireworks choreography software system called FireOne. And I continue to voice location liners and announcements for Avail Technologies GPS systems for mass transit for cities like Los Angeles (AVTA), Acadia National Park, and others. So you might have heard my voice on the bus.
My work has grown to include voicing internationally with an American accent and British accent. Work includes but is not limited to; a United Nations promotional request making 2015 the International Year of Pulses, software training for HP software salespeople, New York Life salespeople and Siemens software, documentary narration, infomercials, radio station liners, corporate and capital campaign videos, and more.

My training includes voice (soprano I) with emphasis on opera and jazz, musical theater, performing arts, production/mixing, and professional copy writing. I've been writing commercials for over 20 years. Having the ability to hear it as I write somehow translates well when the copy is being read by the type of person it was specifically written for. Consequently, I have the ability to read copy more often than not, precisely the way the writer had intended it to be read.
I worked as a producer and copywriter full-time from 1987-1999 and via my own company 1999-present. I still do work for the same radio station I left in 1999.

I believe in customer service. More than 25 years as a copy writer/producer/director, I have presented work to clients for approvals, and I know what it's like to hear "that's not what I had in mind." I can appreciate the need for retakes and provide them with great care and attention.
