Profile Information

I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)

Voice Actor, Copy Writer

HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE

I have trained with some of the most well-respected names in the voice-over industry, including James Alburger, Penny Abshire and Bob Bergen. More recently I studied extensively with John Burr, the foremost voice coach in the Washington D.C. area.

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS

"The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts- The Original Architectural Design." Animated documentary by Severn Design; "A Rock Fan's Journey Into Jazz" podcast for Crawdaddy magazine.

LANGUAGES

English, Spanish

VOICE DESCRIPTION

I have a friendly, expressive and versatile voice. I can deliver a wry, bemused take on a commercial, or a credible, seemingly "expert" take on more technical or instructional material. While I'm a native English speaker, I grew up all over Latin America and can read Spanish copy with a believable "native" accent.

DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions

Most North American English dialects, several UK/Irish/Scottish dialects, German, French, Indian, Hispanic, Italian or Russian accents.

VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM

Senior Male, Middle Age Male, Young Adult Male, Teenage Boy

AUDIO DELIVERY METHOD

ISDN, FTP, AIF, MP3, WAV

EQUIPMENT

Rode NT1-A condenser microphone
Sonica laptop workstation (laptop custom-manufactured for audio work)
Special Equipment:
Behringer BCA2000 USB Interface
Depending on the complexity of the project, I can record with Sonar Producer Edition, Adobe Audition, Adobe Soundbooth or Audacity software.
(note: while my home studio doesn't have ISDN, there are several studios nearby that do).

I too learned a lot from John, and consider him a friend as well as mentor. As for my background, I was born in Rio and lived in Uruguay, El Salvador, Guyana and Costa Rica (my favorite!), as well as traveling to almost every other Latin American country (Dad worked at the US Embassy). I get up to DC fairly often (I used to live in Wheaton), so next time I'm up there maybe we can get together for lunch and compare notes.

Thanks for accepting my friend invite. I studied with John Burr, too-isn't he great????
I am based not far from you in MD and am also bilingual. I grew up in Mexico, Colombia, and studied in Spain. How about you? Muchísimo gusto! Jane Ingalls

Unfortunately I'll only be visiting Dallas for the weekend of Bill Holmes' workshop in February (much as I wouldn't mind getting away from the freezing cold here in Richmond! If you ever get out this way for any training, be sure to let me know. Take care,
