1. I would like to stay mainly in Chinese Language area: Mandarin, Shanghaiese, Szechuanese,Shandongis and Beijing dialects. Thanks :) 2. If possible, I would like to try for Chinese and English mixed work (Chinese and slightly accented English). 3. I am a good storyteller in Chinese and English. 4. I am an excellent poetic performer-poem recitation. 5. I am a great singer (with wide range of voice - high to low) for special projects (projects that need the person to speak and to sing).

Frankly,I marvel that my voice can be utilized within such a wide range, and expresses the deepest inner emotion to connect with the characters that I present. This is a new discovery about my voice's flexibility in sharing a variety of feelings to the people that I care. I have done VO for American Cancer Society and aired on LA 18TV. And I have also been chosen to do the VO by Justin Hogan and Michael Nash for their deocumentary film "Climate Refugees". Recently, I just finished doing "West by Southwest" for both translation and VO, for Mr. Michael Miatti's project as a tour guide in Chinese/Mandarin. Lately, I haved voice over for a project in 2010 Census for a local non-profit organization for their Animation film. Moreover, I am a Chinese/Mandarin coach for actors. I speak Standard Chinese Mandarin (my Mandarin is clear with no accent). This year 2010, I have again been chosen by American Cancer Society for their "Relay For Life" spot in LA 18TV (will be aired on 3/26 to 6/30 during Chinese News time).
