Although my "Voice Over" experience may look infant....It isn't. I have been a singer for over 15 years. I sing pop, gospel, Jazz, blues, folk, and best of all....:::drum roll please::: OPERA! One may frown when thinking of Opera being relevant to Voice Over, but allow me to enlighten your soul... I have studied classical singing for a few years now. Diction is extremely important in singing Classically. I've studied Italian, French, German, & Latin. Trust me, if my syllables were off my grade got affected! When one sings, it is important to carry out and deliver the message of the lyrics. No wonder my friends and family confuse me for a professional. I would trick my friends by pretending to be the telephone operator! In addition to studying the 3 main Classical Singing Languages & Diction, I've also travelled to Germany, Poland, Russia, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and throughout the USA. I make it my aim to absorb the language and learn quickly, without sounding like an American Tourist. I also speak Spanish and have done voice over work for DVD documentaries in Spanish. In order to be a talented Voice Over Talent, I believe one has to be a musician! Ear Training is crucial for the development of the voice, pitch, and dynamics. Mt. San Antonio Community College Began my formal musical studies. Prior to this, I was playing in marching bands and orchestras as a Clarinet/Bass Clarinetist & Singing in Choirs. Studied under Dr. Randall Bills Biola University Conservatory of Music Majored in Music: Voice Emphasis Studied under Dr. Susan Ali, Jeanne Robison (both classical) & Vangie Gunn for Contemporary/Pop Voice & Voice Over training. Also, let me tell you- that as an active Worship Leader at my local church who frequently speaks to a large crowd, I've learned a thing or two about good, clean, diction. I work alongside peers with their own studio which gives me easy access to adjust any project. I personally have Logic Studio 2, Magix Mp3/WAV/AIF Maker/Converter. Not only am I a VO Talent who can speak in 3 different languages (thanks to my Classical Singing studies) but I can also sing in different languages too! To be honest, I may not know what I would be saying initially, but that's why learning the grammar, language, and how to use a dictionary to translate the language was of good use during my college days. I still have these dictionaries!
