HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE: I have been an actor and drama teacher for the past 20+ years, including 8 in public school plus many years teaching in professional theater schools and area colleges. I have also worked from time to time as an acting coach and dialect/public speaking trainer. I recently officially left the classroom (YES permanently) to dive back into the entertainment industry - HEAD FIRST!

I have worked on stage, film and television projects, but my favorite work has always been out of sight, in the studio, facing the microphone. Been doing this since I was 14, when I started as a studio background singer, recording artist in my own right, and general "do-it-all" performer at my local studio. Hope to get lots more fun work!

RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS: Several political ads for BOTH parties! An ongoing project is the Louisiana State Museum System - online voiceover and voice for multi-media project at the Old State Capitol Building in Baton Rouge. Selected as the voice for the Women in Film-Dallas PSA project last year!

VOICE DESCRIPTION: Mellow, smoooth (like "velvet" it has been said) with lots of energy and passion, but can be direct and clear and have a sarcastic edge if needed. Lots of voices "in my head" - just need to set them free!

DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions: Standard British, cockney, Irish, great Texas dialect (harder than it seems to "outsiders" :-) many more regional U.S. or European with a teeny bit of prep time.

EQUIPMENT: ProTools LE 7.3; studio mics used most often are the CAD M177 and the AKG C2000B

VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM: Senior Female, Middle Age Female, Young Adult Female, Teenage Girl, Child Male, Child Female

It has been a while. We must fix that real soon. I'm a bit more flexible now that I'm back in the game full time. Perhaps I'll see you at Hectors...in the flesh! : )

A pleasure to meet you and welcome back to VO . Thanks for the kind words about my demos . I was smart and had someone else produce them for me . Left up to me , I would still be agonizing over which cut to leave it and what to leave in !! :) This is an incredible site. I am constantly amazed by the talent level and how very little ego is present here .

Growing up I was totally inspired by the great Paul Frees , Daws Butler and Mel Blanc .( Okay June Foray was incredible too !!) I never thought I would actually get to create characters that people would pay me to play .. Truly the only job in the world where I could get paid to play behind the mic .

I'll be listening for you too .
