Sylvie Devienne

I speak French with a European accent. I speak English with a European French accent. I speak Spanish with a European French accent.

I do practice regularly through auditions and reading aloud. I took a series of webinars with Bettye Zoller, at Voicesvoices. I took a series of one to one classes in studio with Tanya Buchanan and Bob Cook, at TaDa Voiceworks. I took a series of group classes in studio with Mike Kirby, at Voiceworx. I have been training with a voice/singing coach since the beginning of 2011, with Art Nefsky, at Showoff Studios for Performers. I have been training with an acting coach since the beginning of 2012, with Frank Caruso, at Caruso Films. I also read aloud in French and English every day. I can record from home or on the road as I have a portable studio (laptop, microphone, mic port pro and soundproof portable booth). I have been a travel director since 1986. Numerous times during my career, I have been required to make announcements in French and English or simultaneous translation of speeches, from English to French, in front of large crowds. Every time, persons from the audiences have come to me afterwards to comment on my voice and delivery of the speech. Also, during my teens, I was frequently in a studio with a friend who had a weekly broadcast on community radio, presenting new music. I was adding live comments to his presentations.
