I can deliver a British accent, an authentic French accent, being half-French myself, and a passable Russian accent.

* Provided on-air talent for a TV documentary "Bibles to Russia," involving on and off-camera narrations for this half-hour feature. * As part of a non-profit national network of stations, I have recorded hundreds of public affairs spots and promos for a variety of interest groups. On this same network, I also hosted the long-running "Radio Reading Circle" program, heard weekdays, and for 10 years, I hosted "Sacred Concert Hall" a feature heard every Sunday afternoon coast-to-coast. * Have also written, recorded and produced 60 second commercials heard on Bay Area radio stations for my own opera company, founded in 2005. * I am also a professionally-trained conference interpreter and have interpreted high-level meetings in both English and French.

Connecting with the audience is what voice-overs is all about!
