Yasmin Sweets - Jazzy like that.
My voiceover experience is diverse and ranges from doing industrials for Financial Aid Television to commercials such as Live Well Colorado and Getkosher.com
I've also done long form video narrations for organizations such as Bright Beginnings, based in Denver.
I've voiced international characters for both short as well as feature animated films. Additionally, my voice has been the voice for characters in animated pilots and online animated series.
My favourite project to date has been the animated tribute to Pee Wee's Playhouse called, 'Pee Wee of a Problem!' in which I voiced three fun characters: Chandalier, Cool Cat, and Mrs. Renee. The project was conceptualized and created by Bay Area based artist, Micheal Aiello.
Noemi is the character I played in the animated series, 'Don't Quit Ya Day Job,' created by LA based animator, David Heredia.
