Voice Description

My voice has a very wide range. I am an improviser and sketch comedian as well, so I've been able to hone my voice and play with a lot of different characters. I like to keep my voice sexy, raspy, and fun for commercials i.e. makeup or cosmetic commercials. Deep and inviting for narrations. I keep my voice clear for PSA's or promos. Business and professional for presentations.

My Voice Experience

My voice is unique in its range and it is mostly because of all of the improv and acting experience under my belt. I've been acting professionally for over 10 years, and have been performing improv for almost 8 years. As an improviser I use my voice to give me inspiration for character. Since deciding that my voice was right for voiceovers, I have worked almost exclusively for Bosco Productions in Chicago and have been hired to do work for Sears, not only in voice but on camera as well. I am looking to expand on my experience because I am bilingual I believe I could book a ton of work.

My Studio Equipment

I definitely have a access to two full studios (not my own: Bosco Productions and Jordan Studios- Chicago). They are equipped with microphones, with the booth seperated from the board. I honestly am not familiar with the names of the equipment, because the people I work with are extremely talented and professional that I don't need to know too much :-)!
