My Voice Experience

I became interested in voiceover a few years ago and decided to pursue it professionally beginning in 2007. I found a professional voiceover coach and worked with her - Nancy Wolfson for nearly 2 years. I love the industry and hope to continue it for many years. I've worked with other veteran voiceover coaches as well, including David Lawrence.

My experience includes, voicemail greetings for various companies, providing narration and customer and training videos for Boeing, voicing my first audio book in 2008 which is now available and on sale at the authors website - I've had the pleasure of voicing the character Melissa Montgomery on the wonderfully wicked radio soap opera called Eye of the Storm.

I have my own in home studio, which is still growing. I use Pro Tools, Garage Band, Mbox2 Mini and a MAC. I am looking into Source Connect as an additional resource for communications.

I'm very flexible, easy to work with, have integrity with what I do, and I will provide you with what you need, when you need it. I look forward to working with you!
