My work as a voice actor has led me to varying voice-over employment from video gaming to radio broadcasts. Listen to me yourself, as I currently can be heard as the on-going monthly narrative voice for Microsoft Security 360. I also hold the title role of "Hilari Caine" in the on-going radio drama, "Hilari Caine, Girl Detective" which airs on the AM dial nationally, and through the internet can be accessed by Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. All merchandise purchased means more residuals for me, so please go on-line and treat yourself to the "Hilari" murder mystery box-sets!!! Working as a professional actor, my training has been largley on the job. My studies in the entertainment arts have been various, from Sydney, Australia through to my present home, America. Most recently, I have been in attendance at various intensives/workshops with broadcaster Steve Mitchel and voice artist Veronica Wiekel. I keep my voice-over skills current and alive in regard to ability and techniques through constant training, as I believe that acting in general, be it voice acting, stage work or film/television, is an art worth practicing to be flexible and fresh. In addition to working as an actor/voiceover artist, I have also found employment as a professional writer, and have a great love for words. As such, my skills at cold-reading and interpreting text are solid, professional and reliable. Prior to acting, I spent up to 10 years living, working and traveling as a woman alone throughout South East Asia, the Middle East, South/Central America, Canada and now make my home in the US. As such, I have a great understanding of global culture, am adept to most situations and thrive on adventure.
