I have been a singing vocal student for 7 years now, but I have enjoyed singing my whole life. I sing almost every where I go. In college, I was a music major with vocal performance emphasis. I have also taken several classes in chorus and drama throughout high school and college. I have plenty experience being on the stage in choral and dramatic performances for local theater, mostly for Davis Senior High School. I have participated in a few vocal karaoke competitions at anime conventions for two years including FanimeCon and Anime Expo. The highest placement I have received in karaoke competiton is Second, but I aim to get first place this year. At Anime Expo 2005 Karaoke Competiton, I was approached by a representative from a small studio in the San Francisco Area that produces Ren'Ai games. They came to me expressing interest in my voice for song recording and voice acting purposes. In September 2005, I recorded a vocal CD of songs created by various anime/video game composers and artists as a gift for my boyfriend, but I also use that as a sample of my vocal work. I would like to record another CD this year with the help of my good friends. I do NOT use these to promote my own financial gain.

I have worked in retail, so I have had lots of hands on experience in talking to lots of people of various backgrounds. I think my voice is the most important quality I possess. I think it helps people clearly define who I am as a person. I feel that my voice can be very useful because my most important goal for my voice is to move a person and make them feel exactly what I feel.
