Having attended parochial school, I got great conditioning :) from being such an excellent reader/communicator reading scripture in church.
My voiceover experience began when I worked on a commercial as on camera talent, and in addition, to do the V/O.
That lead to more v/o jobs working on PBS projects where they needed the Island girl and Asian sounding accents.
From there, I worked on video games using different character voices that were in my creative and stable mind.
I've had the extreme pleasure of working with Mike Adams of Dream Catcher Games, Inc. (Canada) and LA Producer, Todd Resnick of Resnick Interactive Group on several Video Games, and with Warner Interactive on the Mortal Kombat 9 Video Game.
I have a solid reputation of coming in prepared, expecting the unexpected, doing minimal takes, thus saving the production $$ on studio time.
That is why I have worked with them repeatedly on the following games:
Mortal Kombat 9 Video Game
Keepsake
Crime Stories
Genesis Rising: The Universal Crusade
Enigma: Rising Tide
Space Force
Aura
