I have just begun to seek work as a voice over professional, though I have sung professionally for many years, and have a strong outside sales background where I have developed my skills as a presenter.
BA Liberal Arts, Pace University Dual-minor in Music & Psychology
Studied Voice w/ Metropolitan Opera Singer, Nancy Williams;
Studied Voice at Hoff-Barthelson Music Conservatory, Scarsdale NY
Have sung professionally, internationally with professional choir
I do not currently have studio equipment of my own, but can gain access to this environment readily.
As a sales professional, I use my presentation skills on a daily basis to establish and maintain new clients. Much of the preliminary work I do prior to meeting a client in person is done on the telephone. I have been told for years that I should be doing voiceover work; that my voice is calming, convincing, instills trust in the listener, etc.
I also have a performance background in Voice. I graduated from Pace University in NY with a BA in Liberal Arts, and a double-minor in Psycology & Music. My concentration in Music was voice. I studied w/ Metropolitan Opera singer and Leonard Bernstein protege', Nancy Williams. I founded Lanestar Management and provided management services to world-renowned opera singer, Jessye Norman, solo pianist and Windham Hill recording artist, Liz Story; and The Tonight Show Band bassist, Joel DiBartolo.
I have a very good understanding of the entertainment industry and have worked extensively in music publishing, music video production, and on behalf of my entertainment clients.
