My professional voice experience was with the national company Erickson Communities for their welcome video for new staff. I have also recorded demos at Soundtrack Recording Studios in Boston. On a daily basis as a teacher for seven years I used my voices in lessons. I have read, "Twas the Night Before Christmas" as Stewie from Family Guy :). I have been working on voices since I was 10. I made a tape for my dad's birthday when I was 10 which included my attempts to reproduce voices of several people like Sly Stallone to Mike Tyson. I have always enjoyed trying various voices and have always been told I have a great voice or a great "phone voice". I have a B.A. from Stonehill College in Easton, MA. My major was Criminal Justice with a minor in Communications. I also have a Master's Degree from Salem State University in elementary Education and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate studies in School Administration from Fitchburg state University. In short, my training as a teacher and administrator requires me to speak and interact in many different environments. The one voice over I professionally did was with the Erickson Community director of Media who has worked with television and radio production for years. And have worked with Brian McKeever of Soundtrack Recording Studios in Boston recording several demos. I have AVS downloadable voice editing software along with a Snowball Blue Studio grade microphone. I'm an assistant principal and former teacher who deals with people of all ages and backgrounds on a daily basis. I am hard working and always see jobs through to the end. If interest in my services proved to be in demand I would seriously consider a full time voice over career.
