"Let me be your authentic voice for commercials, promos & beyond!"

I got my start at NBC News when I was the VOG for Education Nation.

I'm a professional, non-union voice over artist based in Manhattan with a broadcast quality booth at home and Source Connect Standard. I provide conversational reads for commercials and live events without a heavy announcer style. I can be dramatic, warm, and understated as a narrative storyteller; bright, quick, and inviting for upbeat promos and radio imaging; wry with a touch of schadenfreude for sarcastic copy; or funny and engaging for character reads. My political voice overs are personal, believable, trustworthy and authoritative.

 Training

I'm currently working with Tina Morasco and regularly coach with Amy Marcs. I've also had the benefit of training with John McKinney, Paul Liberti, Jack Hossenlopp, Bruce Kronenberg, and Marla Kirban.

 Experience

Highlights:

-NBC News including TODAY, NBC News Now, Dateline, Radio, Education Nation
-NYC Marathon
-News and Doc Emmys
-NJDoHS

I also enjoy doing workouts with a number of gifted and generous teachers, casting directors, and agents.

 Specials

I can edit my recordings pretty quickly and without any major processing.
