HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE: Did first radio spots at 7 years old, in Japan. Progressed to language tapes in 5th and 6th grade, then TV jingles and commercials as an adult, all in Japan (Fujitsu Pocket Bell, KFC, Sonopac). Worked 2 years as a TV announcer for JCTV (a subsidiary of TV Asahi) doing local news, weather, events and information, topics, program guide and flight information. Did a few Japanese cartoons and dubbed Japanese movies into English. I mostly work in English, French, Japanese and Russian.

VOICE DESCRIPTION: Nurturing, earthy, international, sophisticated, sultry, mysterious, can be playful, childlike, and sassy. Natural middle-range tones, or squeaky high-pitched, depending on the language. (Japanese more high pitched, French is lower).

DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impersonations: US and Foreign accents in English: West Coast Calif, Texan, Australian (Sydney), French, Philippine, Japanese, Russian, mid-Atlantic (my natural accent), "world" voice. French accents: Parisian and southwest France. Japanese accents: Awa-ben (Shikoku), American (foreign), and Tokyo-ben

LANGUAGES: Fluent in French, Russian, Japanese, Tagalog, English, Italian. Some German and Spanish plus smidgens in other languages like Hebrew, Arabic, Polish, Slovak, Latvian, Farsi...
