African accents

I have taken an intro to voice over class with Sue Boyajian, where she taught us the adjectives that best describe our voices, through multiple commercial reads. I spent time in the recording booth, learning about pacing, breath control, and other forms of proper booth etiquette. In the intro class, I learned when it comes to commercial reads to focus on the product you are selling, and ask who you are and who you are talking to. When it comes to animation, focus on the character you are bringing to life. One of the techniques I learned that really helped was the advantage of the lead in line, and placing buttons when you believe it may advance the read, I am currently working with the UCLA Head and Neck Surgery Department, where I have been employed for two years. I book all surgeries for three ENT surgeons, and act as the patient service representative. This job has taught me the importance of meeting deadlines, and making sure to be as detailed as possible in my work. I am passionate about any job I take on, and make sure I learn all aspects of it. I am very eager to learn all that I can about this new field.
