I have been in the acting field for over twenty eight years. Uniquely gifted with the ability to mimic voices, characters and dialects, I am poised to take on a variety of projects. I taught acting, specifically dialects and characters, for over two years in Denver. Having done improv for an additional two years, I developed characters on the fly. Mixing dialects with a character brings a whole new dimension to the voice. My voice is one that needs to be heard! Perfect voice for children's animated features, narrations, educational videos and audiobooks. BA Theater from St. Edwards University in Austin Texas ACT Studios in Denver.
