British, Irish, Brooklyn, Southern U.S, multitude of character voices

After being a stage and film actress for over 30 years, I began in voice by auditioning for, and being accepted into the roster of, a local animation studio. Since that time, I have attended many, many voice-over workshops. My instructors have included Bill Holmes, Joyce Castelanos, Debbie Munro, Julie Williams, Elaine Clarke, Bob Bergen, and Bettye Zoller-Seitz, to name but a few. I: - have voiced poems for a collection to raise money for Haiti - voiced a robot in a music video - am the narrator of an online "radio" play about the future - am the narrator of an online instruction manual teaching blind people how to use a popular software program - am "Mother Brightly" in an Anime series - volunteer for a "not-for-profit" group that records news stories for the blind and illiterate. I love doing voice work. I am excited and energetic about this industry. I am hard working and dedicated and pride myself on my attention to detail, timeliness and professionalism.
