I consider myself a character actress - here are some of my current accents. Since I live in Minneapolis, I consider myself a master at the "Midwestern"/"Fargo"/"Minnesotan" - "Yeh, You Betcha" accent. I can also beef it up with any type of "Scandihoovian slant". I can do the classic East Coast New Yorker and the West Coast Valley Girl, New Ager, Hippie or Rich, Snotty, you-know-what. Since I'm so close to Canada, I practically speak Canadian, Eh!

I have worked in every area of broadcasting since college. In school I was a Telecommunications major and worked on numerous campus talk shows, news broadcasts and radio shows throughout my time at St. Thomas. I also worked at a local TV station and was always learning and participating in entertainment stories and the editing and narration of those stories. After college I got in to advertising and worked as an assistant broadcast producer. I hired talent, worked with the copywriters, booked the studio, and oversaw the recording and editing of radio commercials, promos and PSAs. I also researched and purchased music and sound effects for all our broadcast needs. On my own, I have shot personal stories and documentaries - both writing and narrating and editing my own work. I believe I have a very well-rounded education and lots of unique experience in the broadcast business. I am excited to focus on my voice over career. *Voice Over Training - Terry Daniel/Coach - Universal Voice Talent *Acting/Method Meisner-Lewis - The Performance Studio, Sandra K.
