TRAINING!
Before leaving the corporate full-time world for my VO career, I was a radio writer/producer for the Armed Forces Radio Network, where I wrote, cast and co-produced 86 PSA spots, annually. My family line has British, Russian and Spanish blended together beautifully, and I perfected Authentic Flavors of British English while living /studying in England, after being awarded a Fellowship to the University of Bristol. I learned Authentic French with neutral and Parisian accents while living/working in a Paris bank (Société Générale on the Champs-Élysées, currency exchange division).
