Although I am African-American, my voice is often mistaken for that of a Caucasian woman. I do have the ability to speak Ebonics, if needed, but certainly not my normal dialect. Furthermore, I grew up in the Midwest, but have been in the South for several years so I have a healthy balance that can be a sweet Midwest woman, but then also a Southern belle. I can be persuading and seductive if necessary, but I am most comfortable as the girl next door. My voice is conversational.

While I have no formal experience as a voice over artist, I have often been complemented on my voice because I have been working in telecommuting positions for a number of years. I also worked as a directory assistant operator. I am extremely excited to take this opportunity to put my voice on display. I have great diction and a very clear speaking voice and could probably do so much more if challenged. I am currently a student at Liberty University where I am a Psychology major. I was involved in performing arts in High School, Church, and Community events. I also completed a speech communications class most recently while enrolled at Liberty. I am currently researching the best equipment which would best compliment my home office. Currently, I have my HP laptop equipped with Beats audio software and hardware. I have a headset and webcam. I am a techie so I can quickly learn any software and I have the ability to invest in whatever software that would bring my clients the best results. I have impeccable articulation and enunciation. I also practice good mouth hygiene and hydrate often. My voice is consistent, and I can replicate projects until perfection. Connecting with my projects causes me to be convincing and believable. My voice is also conversational and flows easily for listeners to be able to understand. I also have the ability to cold-read text that is long and monotonous. I can both read and speak rapidly for trying to cram information into a tight time-frame. Additionally, I have great voice control, as well as volume, pitch and breath. Finally, I am confident and it tends to flow through my voice.
