I started doing voice overs in 1994 as a result of being a professional stand-up comedian. I've worked in a variety of capacities over the years including multiple corporate videos (GEICO, Leisure Group Travel Services, RVTV/Roanoke Valley Television), on-hold message systems (GEICO, Roanoke County) and tv/radio commercials (Sassy Kat Lingerie, Hair of the Dog Pub, Ace Air Conditioning).
I am lucky to be considered a natural voice talent since I have not received any formal training. My 4 years in stand-up comedy provided me with a wealth of experience to make the transition to voice overs. I have a great ability to sight read and alter the tone of my voice to suit the nature of the project.
For the past 15 years, I've worked in a corporate role as a Human Resources Professional. All of the HR jobs I've held included a great deal of public speaking and training, which I feel greatly supports my voice over services. Those experiences have also lent themselves to my ability to write suitable copy for both narration and radio/commercial spots.
