Having been trained as a stage actor from early childhood, I have always relied on my voice and its versatility to create nuanced characters and deep multifaceted stories. I have portrayed a young southern disc jockey (Steel Magnolias), an extremely elderly British country reverend (See How They Run), and in the recent stage production of The 39 Steps played some twenty different characters, each with a distinct vocal style and dialect - from Standard British to Cockney to multiple distinct Scottish regional dialects. BA - Theatre Arts from Siena College Vocal/speech training throughout entire academic career. I am a polished singer with experience reading music (both practiced and sight-reading). I am also an accomplished stage actor with a wide range, having been cast as the hero, the villain, the clown, and the extraordinarily elderly.
