I have always been enamored by the voices of the people you never see, be it cartoon, commercial, or any of the other vocal mediums. As far back as I can remember I had been creating or imitating voices. In more recent times, I have recorded voicemail greetings for my employers, worked as a DJ, and even had jobs where I was able to utilize my character voices. Each job has been a chance for me to utilize my vocal talent abilities in new and fun ways. It is always a great experience and I use it as a chance to learn and hone my craft. I graduated from Illinois State University in 2008 with a B.A. and honors in Theatre. I studied voice there in several aspects, vocal use, vocal performance, and movement and the voice. Since graduating ISU, I attended class at BOSCO Productions, downtown Chicago. That class reaffirmed my love of voice acting. Since my graduating from Bosco, I am always looking to further my career through my own personal research, as well as varying classes and studies. -AKG Perception 220 studio condenser microphone -M-Audio FireWire Solo recording interface -REAPER Digital Audio Workstation -Sennheiser HD pro headphones. Through my education at ISU and the jobs I have held since moving to Chicago, I have learned that professionalism is key. I pride myself in my ability to receive direction as well as infusing my own personality into the directions given. I am a perfectionist, and strive for nothing less than the best of my abilities.
