When I speak, I have an American English articulate professional, intelligent sounding voice. When I am with my friends and just being myself, I tend to have a street accent (as I am told) which is similar to the way snoop dogg sounds when he speaks. I am sometimes mistaken for African American over the phone if this dialect is being used. I switch accents on que and the one I enjoy using the most, is my British/English accent. That is a lot of fun. I can also speak in an East Coast Accent, New York, Boston types. And I can also speak in a country accent such as Texas. I grew up in Oakland, Ca. and my voice reflects that if I let it. Otherwise, I sound like an educated good girl from the suburbs.

My only voice over experience was when I was Co host/producer for the Legendary Radio Broadcaster Rick Chase, for 10 years on 106.1 KMEL in San Francisco Ca. I have audio tapes of all the shows I have done with him during the years of 1992-1999. I am a natural public speaker and aspiring stand up comedian. I perform at "Your Place Too" which is an amatuer comedy club in Oakland, Ca. I also rap very well, and have recorded with MC Sway and DJ King Tech on the track "Follow for Now" which I also appeared in the video for on MTV in 1991 My studio at home is equipped with the Shure KSM27 Studio Cardioid Condenser Microphone and SM Pro Audio TB202 2-Channel Tube Microphone Preamp/Compressor. And I edit with Adobe Audition. Studios I have access to and use when not in my own have had the following: AKG C-414 B into Digi 002 Audio Technica 4033 into Digi Mbox Audio Technica 4060 into Presonus Eureka Blue Dragonfly into Avalon Vt737sp Electro-Voice RE27 into Digi Mbox 2 Rode NT2 into Aphex 107 MXL ??? condenser into Yamaha DM2K MXL V88 into Mackie Onyx 1620 Neumann U47 fet into Digi 002 Neumann TLM 103 into Digi 002 Neumann TLM 193 into John Hardy M-1 Neumann U 87 into John Hardy M-1 Shure SM58 into Yamaha 01V96 Shure KSM32 into Mackie 1604 VLZ Shure KSM44 into Presonus Eureka Sennheiser MD421 into Yamaha ProMix 01 Sennheiser MKH416 into John Hardy M-1 I am a person who admires talent. When one is able to utilize their creativity as a means of earning a living that is a very privileged thing, because education is expensive, and although I attended and graduated college, student loans still cost money. Look at all the amazing talent we have in the world that are earning a lucrative living from what they do. I believe everyone possesses some kind of talent, whether it be vocal, artistic, physical, and so on, if everybody could utilize their natural born talents to make a living, we would all be very happy, and probably wealthy. I am a nurse of 21 years and I helped heal many sick people, that is also a gift, not anyone can do it. But I believe people need to be and should enjoy what they do for a living, after all, it's what defines us to some degree. I love what I do. And I thank you for this opportunity.
