The Voices in my Head have worked their way into award-winning radio and TV voice over commericals, Kiosks, voice mail and on-hold greetings, corporate presentations, audio books, internet and even toys. (If you ever see a pink stuffed animal called "Crazy Pig"- that's my snorty voice inside.) My clients love that I'm directable, unique and fun to work with. On time, professional and affordable. Experience is really the best teacher. I made mistakes and learned from them early on. My improvisational training background has helped to give voice to a huge cast of fully developed characters. I have trained and taught improv with The Second City and taught voice acting for college theater majors.

I think I must have been born a good mimic. As a kid I could easily reproduce dialects and vocal nuances I heard. I started doing impressions in my improv and Second City days. And as a singer and event entertainer, I often include comedic musical tributes to such divas as: Joan Rivers, Barbra Streisand, Carol Channing, Martha Stewart, Sharon Osborne, Lucille Ball, Lily Tomlin, Mae West and several others. I've had the honor of being nominated for the prestigious Spotlight Award (The live special event industry equivilant of an Oscar) as "Entertainer of the Year" . If you produce Great work, hire a Great actor. You'll never regret it.
