Dianna L. Russell

My natural delivery is crisp, unaccented American English. However, I can provide British, Cockney, Irish, Scotch, German, Scandinavian, Southern-American, and Appalacian-American accents/dialects. As a professor and speaker at the university-level, I am also familiar and comfortable with scientific and technical language and jargon.

A Professor of English with over 30 years’ experience speaking publicly and delivering educational material to students and adults, I have also worked on radio and in theatre. I have performed in public and private schools across New York State and my original plays and musicals have been read and produced regionally and in New York City. I hold a master’s degree in writing and rhetoric and teach public speaking and communication to students of all ages. A lover of classical music, opera, and the Great American Songbook, I have been trained as a solo and choral singer. However, I am equally comfortable and confident with scientific, historical, and technical material, as my many years as a researcher, writer, and educator has been diverse and intensive. I have access to equipment which includes: VocalBooth.com Platinum Series double-walled booth Shure KSM27 microphone SM Pro Audio TB202 Tube PreAmp Audacity HP 270-P024 Source-Connect and phone patch in-studio I can send all file formats (WAV, mp3, AIFF, etc.) as needed, on demand. I also have easy access to several top-level, professional recording studios in the Greater NYC area with SourceConnect and ISDN capabilities. Your project is my priority!
