Melissa is a friendly, positive, dynamic mom of a preschooler and enjoys bringing stories to life! Focused on audiobooks, commercials, explainer videos, and eLearning projects as her primary craft, Melissa has also volunteered her voice for numerous educational materials the Learning Ally in NYC - recording audiobooks for Blind and Dyslexic students and studied the craft under experts in the industry such as Lisa Biggs, Anna Garduño, Kelly McGee, Roger Becker and Brent Alan Hagel. She is recommended highly by award-winning members of the SOVAS Academy (Society of Voice Arts and Sciences based out of Los Angeles). Her top notch studio sound is signed off by audio engineering powerhouses Uncle Roy Yokelson, Don Baarnes and Frank Verderosa. She is noted for her warm, engaging, relatable, conversational, maternal voice and midwestern accent, which pair well with motherly and seductive scripts. Melissa is a positive, upbeat, voiceover professional and can range from serious to seriously silly and over-the-top. Musically she is a natural Alto, with both the upper resonances of a younger woman, and the diction and lower range of a more mature woman.
