My most unique job was as the voice of satisfaction for Tropicana. All I said was "Ah-h-h-h." The job took ten minutes.
In my early career, I learned that the client is always right, and I developed the ability to 'give them what they want,' a quality I have to this day. I was an early female voice talent, with an agent and relationships in all the NY ad agencies. I was the voice on many national commercials, in addition to doing stage work on Broadway and elsewhere.
Life has a way of taking you on journeys, and also of bringing you back to where you started. In this new world of voice work, I intend to build on my skills and, using a new home studio, create a new body of work in voiceover.
I have two Bachelor's degrees, in Psychology and Vocal Performance.
I am a member of the Wild Ride Marketing Team
Participation in a number of SAG and AFTRA workshops, such as "Finding the Voices in Your Head," and commercial workshops with Paul Napier and others.
I am a regular on the Wednesday Workout Sessions with Larry Hudson.
I began my career with an understudy part on Broadway in 'Shenandoah' and appeared on Broadway in "Equus" and "Dracula.'
I performed for many years with the Tulsa Opera Chorus and in community theatre roles at Tulsa Little Theatre. I was part of choruses at Tulsa University and the University of Arizona.
I have worked for a decade in the healing arts -- reiki, cranio-sacral, reflexology and shiatsu. I teach Yoga for the Rest of Us, which you'll understand if you've attended many yoga classes.
Home studio consists of a Samson CO3U microphone and Audacity recording program.
At Porter Sound, I have access to:
Pro Tools 10 HD
Pro Tools HD2 Accel Recording System
Microphones: AT4055, Sennheiser K6/ME67, Shure SM81, Alesis AM11
Toshiba/Sony Video Monitors
JK Audio Inline Phone Patch

I currently work as a yoga teacher and an energy therapist. In these careers, I have honed my ability to tune into a person to a high degree; thus, my ability to understand and fulfill a vo client's needs is increased.
Although I am involved in areas that might be considered esoteric, I am down-to-earth and capable of a wide range of vocal sounds, emotions and points-of view.
