I have been teaching for eight years and my weird voices are a tool I use to entertain, deliver content, get kids' (or animals') attention, or just make them laugh or freak out. I have a BSED in Foreign Language (Spanish) Education from the University of Georgia. I have been teaching and coaching for eight years. I have learned by exposure and experimentation with what I see and hear through any means open to me. The metro Atlanta area offers a wide selection of studios for recording. Presently I have little high-level professional equipment of my own as I am just starting this endeavor. I can record my own samples and send them. I have a wide range of experience in reading all kinds of literature, often requiring a variety of voice interpretation. I am very computer savy. I also have an extensive print and music library. My presentation skills are solid and I can use various kinds of software. I typically have to carry myself in a tight professional manner as a teacher and coach so my voice drama/humor are a fun diversion that I can use professionally. I am bi-lingual in English and Spanish. I was born in Miami and Spanish has been a part of nearly my entire life. I can also read other romance languages, including Latin.
