Hi, I'm Virginia—like the state! I am a professional actor and voice artist based in Detroit. I'm also a thespian/theater nerd, novelist, and part-time semi-professional rabbit wrangler. I once traded my legs to a sea witch for a beautiful singing voice (good thing I can swim!) and I'm excited to lend that voice to your projects.
I so look forward to collaborating with you!
