I'm a Voice Artist by default. I've traveled, so grew up around some real-life characters, who left their indelible impression, which I continue to emulate and share with audiences. For years, I thought I was an actor, but casting kept bringing me back because of my "distinctive"voice. It's not always a compliment. When I didn't book the lead role, I got cast as the Narrator. This led to many narration jobs in my youth, before even moving to the coast to pursue further film and television opportunities. A few years ago, I was cast as both gay moms, by Director Ben Lu (blu@orangestudio.ca). I continue to have the good fortune to work with Ben, and other directors at Rogers Television, on various projects. The Citadel Theatre School - 3 yrs.
