"Can't you just speak in your normal voice?" my sister would always complain as we were growing up. I have always been comfortable using my voice to express my feeling or enhance a story. It came as no surprise to the people around me that I choose to pursue a degree in Vocal Performance (Elon University). After graduation I moved to Los Angeles and quickly began working with top industry professionals to sharpen my skills as a voice actor. I feel that the knowledge of my vocal mechenism that my degree has afforded me gives me a sense of confidence and ease when it comes time to record in the studio. And yes, I can speak in a "normal" voice!
BA Vocal Performance (trained in classical, musical theater, contemporary and jazz technique) Elon University, Private coaching in comercial and animation (MJ Lallo), Scene Study (Anthony Meindl, on going), Improv (groundlings, on-going), Killians Comercial Workshop, Alexander Technique, Sam Christensen Method.
Audio-Technica AT2020, Audacity and Garage Band.
In addition to my vocal training I am strong in improvisation and text analysis, skills which have always served me tremendously in the studio.
