Edith Dandenault

I can speak the French Canadian Dialect called 'Joual'- used in Quebec. Accents I master are those of a European French speaker speaking English, a North-American French speaker speaking English, a north-American anglophone speaking French and a Spanish speaker speaking English.

I have been asked to lend my voice to a range of jobs since the age of 19. At first I was hired to be the calm and steady voice of the tester in a province-wide exam for second-language learners of English. The next projects were for employers- and more recently I have been the voice of a trustworthy mother addressing the issues surrounding internet use by teenagers (media-awareness canada). Now I am involved in short t.v. commercials and web commercials and hope to do more radio. For the last 3 years I have been the official bilingual voice for the Canada Say celebrations in Ottawa - live on the Hill and in France for the commemorative ceremonies for Vimy Ridge. I have a University degree in Teaching( in French) and a masters' degree in Applied Linguistics (English). I have taught Public Speaking classes in Canada, Mexico, and South Korea. I am perfectly bilingual (French and English) and speak 4 other languages at an advanced level. I have lived in 4 different countries and traveled for extended periods to more than two dozen others. This experience abroad has made me sensitive to people and given me a great many tools to connect with them. As a professional organizer and mother of two I have learned that being methodical, attentive and considerate are essential qualities in bringing a cooperative project to a successful conclusion. As an entrepreneur I have also learned to be flexible and to get things done on time. I enjoy the dynamics or group projects and look forward to being part of your team.
