I have been performing voice overs as part of my job in communications and as a freelance artist for over 20 years. While a writer/director, I performed voice overs on programs used in marketing and training programs. I also recorded extensively for our company's phone response system - having been told that the tone and timber of my voice is perfect for this type of work. As an independent artist, I have performed paid assignments for the Mass Dental Association public service radio spots aired regionally as well as for a Massage Chair in-store demo video played at Brookstones. I thoroughly enjoy this work and specialize in personifying funny characters and both US and International accents - from an intimidating East Boston Mobster to a charming Mediterranean romeo. I record at competitive rates, am easy to work with and can add value as an accomplished writer and director. I have been in the performing arts since elementary school... As a singer in 5th grade, As an actor and singer, debate moderator and sports broadcaster in high school, As a radio broadcaster in college, As a voice performer in graduate school, As a moderator, presenter, and phone casting artist during my tenure in corporate communications, As a moderator and presenter for non-profit associations, As a moderator and panelist in instructional and promotional webinars.
