My first job, when i was fifteen years old, was for the Canadian government recording English-language tapes for young people learning the language... I have been in love with being behind the microphone ever since. Most recently, i co-hosted a radio show on Maui, sang and co-composed music for a CBC documentary film which aired in Canada, Argentina and France, and narrated film Shugendo Now in two languages. Clients include : Mercedes Benz, Hawaiian Airlines, National Geographic, Scholastic Books, CNN, CTV, Samsung, Yahoo, Facebook, The Red Cross, The Aga Khan Foundation, Banque de Montréal, Cavalia, Becel, United Educators, Constellation Records, CBC, Brad Paisley, Kenmore, Honda, and several others whose names you might not know, but whose projects have been noteworthy ! Graduated voice over student of Nancy Wolfson's. I am a professional singer and actor, receiving a BA in theatre followed by studies at l'Ecole International de Jacques Lecoq in Paris, France. I then studied voice and music in Paris, with Roy Hart teachers including Haim Isaacs. In New York City, i deepened my exploration of the voice with Jonathan Hart. Other extensive training and workshops have been with Rhiannon (vocal improvisation) and with Francine Poitras of the Cirque du Soleil. I also learned the art of Hawaiian chanting while living and performing there for five years. I have been performing and recording professionally for over seventeen years. I record in my own professional, high quality studio. Equipment: Neumann TLM103 or a Rode NT1A microphone; Focusrite Saffire PRO24 audio interface; Apple Logic 9.0. I have ample recording experience as a singer/ recording artist and am very comfortable receiving direction. I can compose music for projects and can supply the music scores - from simple jingles to more complex harmonies and orchestrations. I am also a certified yoga instructor, and therefore am very comfortable using my voice to set a soothing, relaxing environment. Names of asanas, mantras and any terms in Sanskrit can be said or chanted with excellent pronunciation and years of chanting training.
