My journey into voice over began on set. I was the lead in a Jenny Craig commercial, but when the shoot wrapped, the director asked if I'd be willing to record the radio spots as well. I was thrilled...and then I got into the booth and realized just how little I knew about this fascinating medium. With the help of a really great booth director, I made it through that spot, and vowed not to wing it ever again. I dedicated myself to learning the skills I needed to actually work professionally in the voice over arena. Since that first experience, I've studied and worked to refine my skills in the booth and behind the mic. I have voiced industrials as well as national campaigns, including a major pharmaceutical commercial. I find that I love the work behind the microphone every bit as much as my work in front of the camera, and I continue to hone my skills ever finer.
