Voice Description

Versatile and a terrific mimic. That's me. My voice can be warm and straight-forward for narrations and corporate presentations or quirky, sexy, silly or "sales-y" for commercials. My background as a character actress also enables me to create fun characters from little kids to teens to soccer moms and little old ladies. I've even played animals and inanimate objects! Whatever you need, you've got with me.

My Voice Experience

Aside from my TV, film and stage work, my background includes lots of voice-over work for numerous businesses and production companies across the country. From commercials, promos and audio books to documentaries, phone prompts, corporate/educational films, ESL recordings, character voices, singing ---I do it all. I’m well-versed in technical and medical language and humorous fare is indeed my forte, so I tend to lend a warm, genial touch to other material as well. My current clients range from small operations to Fortune 500 companies and I'd welcome the chance to add your company to my esteemed list.

My Training

I've studied acting in New York City at The Roundabout Theatre and taken numerous voiceover classes from leading teachers and mentors all over NYC. I have a BA in Music from Montclair University where, in addition to voice, I studied piano, cello and traveled the country earning over 100 awards in public speaking and oratory.

I have an extensive medical narration background so I'm well-versed in big words with lots of Xs, Ys and Zs. I am an accomplished pianist and singer---perfect for jingles and I can write them too. I've written, arranged and performed in venues all over the USA. Hear me sing w/my a cappella group, The Decibelles,
