I've always been good with languages since I was a kid. I could pick up and imitate accents quite easily. I remember when the Harry Potter books started to come out, my sister and I first heard them on audiobook and loved them, but my sister was too young to read, so when we got the books, I would read them aloud to her and take on different voices for all the characters. We continued the tradition even after she could easily have read them herself. While I haven't had a job voice acting specifically, I've been in plenty of plays in both high school and college, and I've always wanted to try voice acting. I hope you give me a chance! In my small high school I took every opportunity to act in the school plays, and through them learned to use accents, from cockney to Boston. I haven't studied voice acting specifically, but I've had three years of college as a theater major (one at the University of Kentucky and the other two at Northern Kentucky University), and in my various acting classes have had plenty of tutelage in acting with my voice. I've also been to a voice acting panel at Anime North which was vary informative and fun! I've also been in school and church choirs ever since I could sing, so I know well how to project and enunciate. I'm a fairly skilled singer, having been in choirs all my life. My boyfriend is British, so my British accent is particularly honed, being around him and his family a lot. I was born in upstate New York but moved to Kentucky when I was five years old, so I have sort of a nondescript accent, being a mix of both north and south, and I can imitate either competently. I grew up on Disney movies and never grew out of animation. I'm a huge Avatar: The Last Airbender fan. So it's always been a dream of mine to try voice acting. I have a good education from a combination of homeschooling and private school, so I am smart and I have an exceptional vocabulary. Few words ever trip me up when reading aloud.
