ELISABETH PURVIS

I have been the French voice for Innovative Electronic Designs, Louisville, KY for 10 years; the purpose of my work for IED is to provide pre-recorded announcements to airports throughout the world i.e, Paris Charles de Gaulles International Airport, Montreal Dorval International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport). IED's flagship product for airports - the 500ACS - has proven to be the announcement control system of choice for approximately 40 percent of the 100 busiest airports in the world, and 24 of the top 30 airports in the United States. These "takes" once put together, sound as if a live ticket agent were to speak. I am currently recording there on a contract basis when updates such as new cities, airlines, new security announcements are needed. I have also done voice over for a Canadian Car commercial (job offered to me by the same company Innovative Electronic Device)mentionned above. I have also been an interpreter at the Kentucky Derby for the Press Box at Churchill Downs (appeared on ESPN). I am currently training for the purpose of movie dubbing (English to French) for which I express great interest. I have been an extra in several movies including Seabiscuit. I learned my voice over skills with Carolyn Hopkins, an experience Radio and Airport American Voice from Innovative Electronic Design. I am also currently taking acting classes with Vin Morreale Jr., president of VSM Productions, a Louisville-based company which develops award-winning advertising and entertainment projects for film, video and television. Vin Morreale Jr. is an award-winning director, producer, writer, actor and acting teacher. I am also a translater and interpreter in French and English and vice versa. I am very knowledgeable in the equine field, more particularly Horse Racing, since having interpreted for the Horse Racing Press and having appeared in at least 2 Horse Racing related movies (Seabiscuit and How you Look to me) I am however, not limited to the equine field, I am well travelled and educated. I have good Spanish skills as well.
