People describe my voice as young, friendly, and warm, my style as conversational and natural, and my pitch as midrange.
My acting background enables me to inhabit a character, adding an engaging personal quality to even the shortest commercial role.
My academic background (a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary) includes a great deal of work in Latin, which prepares me well for voicing technical and medical material.
I can turn an audition into a session quickly, as voiceover is my full time work. I'm quick, reliable, and always on time.
