I would describe my style & delivery of my voice and personality as being strong, confident, with a wide range that fits my clients needs.
I'm Versatile in many genres, and it's been said my sound to be trustworthy, unique, powerful, with major gravitas.
With training by some of the top VO coaches in the country, I can easily and effortlessly transition my voice from a tough nosed grit sound, into a sultry and sexy feel, and then switching into an upscale & sophisticated sound, all in the same copy if need be which it continuously showcases my storytelling abilities to each client, and casting director that I work with.
I say these things with a conscious level of confidence to my approach and delivery on each audition or VO project that comes my way.

Particularités
I'm also an Actor, Motivational speaker and a hopeless romantic...lol
Being that I'm a Quadriplegic ( who dove in shallow water 15 years ago) I'm paralyzed from my chest down, but although my life is different than most, what I have learned because of my injury is that I had a gift to help people.
So I became a Motivational speaker who addresses all longing for hope. Specifically I love speaking to middle and high school students from all over bringing them Inspiration, motivation and encouragement. Discussing topics from Bullying to how to never give up on your dreams..... that no matter your upbringing, background, living environment or any physical/mental limitations you face that may tell you that you CAN'T do it, I step in and encourage people that indeed they CAN do anything that comes their way - to never give up on themselves.
Whether their able bodied or disabled, we all have a special gift and a talent this world needs, so its my job to tell people they're special and do all things if they just believe in themselves to go after what they want and / or desire.
With my "disability" does bring perks....in fact that's how I got into acting.... (speaking roles only) as now many shows and commercials are using actual disabled actors to play the part oppose to putting an able bodied actor in a wheelchair. Giving people like us more opportunities to showcase our talent.
However, being a full time voice actor who's trying to become an A - lister, I've yet to see any other Quads at VO conferences or anywhere in the industry who are like me, which makes me "stand" out a little bit more, and in hopes to land a bigger agent(s) due to the fact I'm unique - which is never a bad thing.
