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

I have been in the acting field for over twenty eight years. Uniquely gifted with the ability to mimic voices, characters and dialects, I am poised to take on a variety of projects. I taught acting, specifically dialects and characters, for over two years in Denver. Having done improv for an additional two years, I developed characters on the fly. Mixing dialects with a character brings a whole new dimension to the voice. My voice is one that needs to be heard!

Looks like we're going to be offering workout nights every Thursday evening from 7pm-10pm..ish! ;) I'm thinking $25 per workout night would be fair...there will be food, drinks, and it's a great little place! We start our first workout next Thursday 3-26. Please let me know if you want to come, and I'll send you all the details, location, etc...
