I am coach for two years in Paris in the first Voice Over school (CVO) founded five years ago by one of the top Voice Over in France, Lorenzo Pancino. My deep voice has led me to perform as narrator of wildlife or historical documentaries for TV or Museums and of Company presentations. I do also TV commercials and DVD trailers. I often do dubbing for documentary films usually playing Presidents or CEOs and many other characters. I am often called for radio jingles and liners or documentary teasers (even in English). Willing to improve a very good international accent, I am now training and working with an american coach to be able to really professionnaly perform in English. I do speak also Russian with a very good soviet accent and occasionaly work with it.

Previously working as TV documentarist, I had to direct Voice Overs for TV programms.
For two years, comedy practice at "Atelier A" directed by Philippe Naud, coach for several famous french actors and former assistant of Blanche Salan and Paul Weaver, introducers of the Actor Studio in France at the American Center of Paris.
I often play small characters for movies waiting for more... and also I am also invited to improvise characters during post-synchronisation sessions for french movies. One of my aims is to become the french voice of a Hollywood star for dubbed films because my voice offers such perspectives, therefore I am training on dubbing technics with professionals (doing serials like "Bold").

Being 43 and working as voice over for five years, I have had other lives before in several countries and different fields (International buisness, Journalism, United Nations Field Officer, Election Observer, Documentary films...) and these multiple experiences help me today to understand and penetrate the characters and situations.
