As a multiple Emmy award winning TV and Radio broadcaster, I was complimented for my journalism, but always pulled aside for my voice. Even if I were in the heat of a war or famine, people kept returning to “that voice you have”… “ it’s like a velvet glove”, “your voice is somehow sexy and authoritative”, “kind and badass”, “so powerful and persuasive, honest and trustworthy.”
I am a deeply caring person, and that apparently comes through in my work. Because I trained as an actress early in my life, and then worked writing and narrating both news and entertainment, I bring a mix of conversational, warm, kind, professional, believable and authoritative to my work. I am also a warm and compassionate person, and love humor and wit, making' wry and dry' something people seem to love. Sexy, sensual and intriguing, and comparisons to Kathleen Turner and Ruby Dee are frequent.
As someone who has traveled the world, immersed myself in cultures from Europe to Mideast, Russia, Asia and so on, I have a gift for accents, and an appreciation of many cultures. Due to working under intense deadlines, I am able to work rapidly and under pressure, and handle both direction and changes with ease.
