Being from Texas, I can give you a wonderful southern drawl. I can also speak with no discernable accent. I can speak seductively or innocently...straightforwardly or slyly. I can deliver any emotioan from distantly professional to angry and withdrawn, and everything in between. With practice, I can do whatever it is that you need done.

I am the mother of 9 (yes, nine) children. My oldest child is 29. I have been reading aloud to children since before my oldest child was born. I have 6 grandchildren. I read to them on a regular basis. I have been a special education and high school English teacher for 13 years. I read at least 4 novels per year to my students. When we are reading a book in class, if I am going to be absent, I have to record the portion of the novel that is schedule for that day. I have to do this because my students complain if I have anyone else (even a professionally done recording) reads. I have heard comments such as, "She didn't do the cool voices you do!" "She read in a monotone and I fell asleep." I do not have any professional voice over experience, but I have to say I am extemely experienced in reading with fluency, expression and enthusiasm. You won't find anyone that will work harder to give you an original product than I will. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Special Education Teacher, a Certified Secondary English Teacher, a Certified Cheerleading Coach, and a Certified School Counselor. I have a B.S. in Human Services from the State University of New York at Plattsburgh. I have an M.Ed. in Counseling and Human Development from Hardin Simmons Univeristy in Abilene, TX. I have a personal computer, Roxio and WMP. I can convert to MP3 and email anything. My youngest child is graduating from High School in 2011. I have been raising children for 29 years. I have been teaching in a public school setting for 13 years. I need a change. Reading with expression and enthusiasm is a talent that I have not yet utilized. I am now in a position to utilize this talent.
