Wendy Kay White

I can be the lady-next-door, friendly or aloof, well-read or air-headed. Mainly, I'm Midwestern, but can handle a bit of U.S. Southern, Spanish or British diction as well. I can also do senior lady voices, naturalistic, funny, sweet, cranky or eccentric. I have experience with medical terminology and e-learning projects as well.

Before entering the voice-over world, I worked for 28 years as a copy editor and photo editor at a large Chicago newspaper. I also did some website editing there. I have been a long-time member, section leader and board member for the Chicago Master Singers, a large classical chorus. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in news-editorial journalism from Northern Illinois University, with a minor in Spanish.
