on long road trips as a child i would entertain my family with a multitude of voices and characters. i had a great ear for mimicry even then. i work in professional theatre and my actual voice over experience is limited. i was contracted to do a radio play (Pliny and the Deaconesses) in 2002 for Rosebud Creek Recordings. i was also contracted by them two years in a row for voice work in a series of online training podcasts to learn English on line. I Graduated from Rosebud School of the Arts (a post secondary Theatre School associated with Rosebud Theatre)with a major in Acting, in Rosebud, Alberta Canada. In conjuction with my studies there i have participated in numberous acting, performance and scene study class. I work as a company member for Rosebud Theatre, performing in live theatre. i have also continued my education and am currently taking private voice (singing) coaching. Selected classes taken: - Shakespeare Workout with David Snider & Jeany Van Meltebeke - Monologues: Making an Impact with Scott Swan - Acting for Television with John Trottier - Shakespeare with Antony Holland i do not have my own studio, but have access to two in close proximity to my home. i am not sure what equipment they have available. i will update this information as soon as i am able. I am currently employed at Rosebud Theatre and Rosebud Centre of the Arts. As in most arts organizations I wear many hats. I am an acting instructor and librarian for our theatre school, an actor (live theatre) and sometime receptionist.
