Chevrolet--live event narrator and emcee, 2010-present. I travel all over the country for Chevrolet, and talk about their vehicles. Everything from whipping up crowd excitement at music festivals, to detailed breakdowns of how car technology works. OuloudOpinion--lead voice artist, engineer and editorial manager, 2007-2012. Editorial podcasts from multiple major outlets, including Creator's Syndicate, The New Republic, Investor's Business Daily, etc. JET Theatre--voiceovers, "The Diary of Anne Frank," 2009. I played the title character, and recorded portions of the diary for use both in the production, and in advertising. "Something to Come Home To," short film, 2008. I played the lead female and provided a series of voiceovers, as well as re-recording dialogue to track with the existing footage. Central Michigan University--Assistant Professor, Theatre and Speech, 2007-2008, 2012-13. I taught Voice and Diction, as well as several sections of intro level speech and acting classes. Teacher's Discovery--proofreader and editor. While not directly related, my clients find that my proofreading and editing skills are very helpful to them! I'll always let you know if I find a discrepancy, especially if the work is also going to be published in written form. MA--Theatre--Ohio State University, 2006. Focus on actor training methods, including voice training techniques, Shakespearean performance styles, and classical text. BA--Theatre and History--Hillsdale College, 2004.

Private studies--singing (over 10 years), ranging from classical opera to modern musicals and jazz. Home studio equipped with Adobe Audition and a built-in sound booth. I record off a Heil PR-40. Extensive experience with voiceover and acting. As a classical actress, I am used to dealing with difficult words and phrasing, as well as unfamiliar words and names (I do a lot of Russian and Scandanavian plays, as well as Shakespeare). I am a very swift editor, and will let you know if I find any typos, so you can make appropriate changes in any published materials.
