I have been a working singer and actress for over 20 years, and have officially expanded my career into Voice Over. I have loved studying (and teaching) voice for most of my life, and I have a terrific sense of creating nuance in copy. VO is all about communication, and it is my pleasure to be part of the team that tells these stories and connects with people on a personal level. Animation is my specialty, I also love Commercials and Promo. The sky is the limit really...if VO is story-telling then I would be honored to help you tell your story.
