I do voice overs to support my acting habit...all kidding aside, I have been a professional voice over artist and on-camera actress since I was sixteen. I have lived, studied and worked in Toronto, New York City, L.A, and Vancouver. I absolutely, wholeheartedly, LOVE what I do! I love that every project is unique and I enjoy bringing my experience and creative sensibilities to the table - no matter what artistic platform. All art is connected! I started singing at the age of three and at ten, became fascinated with sound - recording everything I could with my first tape recorder...rain drops, boiling water, my baby sister, my Grandmother's laugh... Sound has always fascinated me. I was cast as a singer on an NBC soap and started a rock band where we played gigs throughout NYC in the late 80's.
My on-camera career has included lead roles in TV series, feature films, sit-coms, mini-series etc. and I have performed over 6,000 voice overs and network national TV commercials in the US and Canada. Current animation projects in Production include two feature length "Barbie" movies for Mattel. See below a selected list of current Voice-Overs.
