I have been using my voice for entertainment all of my life. Teaching vocal technique, singing and dramatic performance is part of my passion and I enjoy it. I've attended many workshops and read with Adilah Barnes. Worked with casting director Jackie Brown and Actor/Director Beau Bridges on various projects My father is an impressionist/singer/entertainer and I grew up using my voice for entertainment purposes. Singing, laughing and crying were my big numbers, with a whole scene that led me to the big moment of course! Primarily being versatile as the sweet little girl next door or the sexy vixen in the highrise across town. Big contrast. For more than 20yrs of singing professionally and writing songs and plays, I have always wanted to use my voice in greater volume and to a wider audience. My voice is the voice of "calm resolve" that smoothes everything over and relaxes everyone in the time of frustration and chaos. I really want to do this and enjoy this part of my life more. I am told all the time that I should allow more people to hear my voice and they will identify it as something they want to use. So, I am stepping out and going for it. I have practically lived in the studio for singing and recording helping other people and now I believe that it is my season to do it for myself and still have the client happy with my work. I have a very diversified skillset in addition to my voice as a Singer, songwriter, Author and Director. I am certified as a computer engineer, HR specialist. Licensed Realtor, Mortage Specialist, Notary, Life and Disability, Agent, Crisis Intervention & Suicide Prevention Specialist and Counselor for at risk youth/young adults and women. Keynote speaker for women's conferences and seminars. I use my voice on a daily basis to help others and I want to continue to do that in this forum and to challenge myself to go deeper.
