Voice Description

My voice is very flexible. It can be used in infomercials, corporate training tapes, and phone messages. It is good for childrens' books as well as narration. It can also be deep and breathy for commercials along with perky and upbeat. Some character voices available are southern belle, Russian, and the Wicked Witch of the West. It fits well into narration that requires compassion and warmth. It is playful and adapts well to any age group.

My Voice Experience

I began using voices 28 years ago while working with elementary children reading books aloud or simply trying to keep their attention. I currently teach 2nd graders who love to visit with 'Natasha', a Russian woman in her mid 40s who doesn't pull any punches. I have had a great time developing a southern accent by reading Uncle Remus stories. Since I've been reading out loud for so long, my first read through is pretty close to the mark.
I have most recently been the voice talent that opened a local Gospel concert. I also make live announcements for J.C. Penneys. In December 2006 I recorded a one minute commercial for a local Christmas tree farm.

My Training

I received my voiceover training from an organization out of Schenectady, NY called The Creative Voice Develpment Group. I completed three one-on-one voice sessions with seasoned voice over artists who have been in the business for centuries. CVDG also recorded a professional demo tape that includes both narration as well as commercial pieces.
