My Voice Experience

Voice/Music - Athens School of Music, Athens, Greece
Voice - Paris, France. Private lessons and some music school experience
Voice - Heidelberg, Germany. Private and music school.

Living, studying and working in Greece was one big theater! Most of my work has been musical from singing with the American Ambassador in UAE at a conference, to singing at the Marriott in Jordan. I organized educational conferences that serviced the International Schools in the Near East/South Asia and travelled with the job. I also did some modeling (mainly clothes/hair for magazines) and a few TV commercials in Athens, Greece. For many years an ad for Babylino diapers ran on Greek TV and I was a young mother changing the diaper and talking to the child. I sang and spoke at conferences in Athens. For a while, I sang at 7am Sunday mornings at an Orthodox Church for the ex-director of the Greek opera. In France I sang opera and Baroque. In Germany a variety of German, Irish and international music, as well as the Christmas Music in the Market Place below the castle. An large international oncology conference at the Heidelberg University featured my singing with a pianist.

My voice is my strength, please use it.
