Voice description

I am 26 years old and have a young hip voice. I am able to play younger children, I can also call on my lower register to achieve a believable young adult. My voice tends to have some nasal qualities when I do younger voices.

Training

I love doing Voiceover acting, a completely unique acting experience and I can't get enough. I have trained with voicing coaches Bob Burgen, Joyce Castellanos, Bill Holmes, Julie Williams, James Alburger, Deb Munro and Pat Fraley. With their training I have successfully got myself a few voicing jobs and now I want to do more.

I currently voice the message on hold for Edmonton's Shaw Conference Center.

Misc/Specials

I have been told by all of my coaches over the year that I am perfect for Character and cartoon projects as my voice has a cartoon like sound. My voice gets high when I start to get really excited but I'm learning to slow it down and work on my lower tones as well.
