Voices are my way of relaxing people as well as myself. I coordinate birthday parties for children and they love my cartoon voices! I often throw Murder Mystery parties and my friends love that I am able to fall into character so easily, with appropriate accent. Some of my characters have been a sultry southern belle, an English school teacher, and a crazy old woman. I have no formal voice over training, however, I have worked in communications and have been in some radio commercials; including a part as a California Valley Girl, a crazy voice for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and multiple interviews on radio. I am used to public presentations and have often presented for higher ups with just a few moments notice and pulled the speaking off very well. It is very important that clients know that I am just starting out in this field. I have no formal training, however, I am ready to work hard to become a valuable talent in the voice over field. Much of my past work is in Public Relations and Marketing. Both of these fields helped me become more of an entertainer because of the many presentations I have given and the many different audiences I have spoken to.
