It all started many years ago when I would play GI Joes with my brother. I had to learn sound effects (which I'm still not good at) and voices for each figure I was assigned as "my guy". The long and the short of it was, if I wasn't imaginative, distinctive and good at it, I wasn't allowed to play. So, I got good. And I kept it up. I soon began acting for camera and in theatre and typically won the character roles as I could manipulate my voice to "fit" the roles. I have had over 14 years experience doing this and I love it. From narrations to teenage angst, I've gotten it down.
4 year degree in Drama, Television and Film performance. 9 years professional voice lessons (mezzo-saprano). Dozens of acting workshops, seminars, etc.
