I got my start in voiceover while earning my BFA at Carnegie Mellon. My Voice and Speech teacher (voiceover actress Natalie Baker-Shirer) recommended me for a small job recording a character text-to-speech voice for Cepstral LLC. That summer I spent many hours in front of my computer microphone recording 20,000 word and sentence prompts in an "Overly Excited Teen" voice. I moved to LA after graduating and spent three years learning the ins and outs of the West Coast film and TV business. After getting my fill of California, I moved to New York in 2012; I primarily work as a theatre actress, but can be seen onscreen in "Boardwalk Empire," horror film "Eaglewalk," and upcoming indie "The Wine of Summer" among other things. I also produce and co-host a weekly acting podcast called "hurryupandwait," available for free download on iTunes.
