I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor, Voiceover Coach
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
I came into voice over acting via a BFA in Theater, many plays in LA at great venues (didn't pay much, however), and on-camera career that was a little bit of an up-hill struggle, but I made progress and had myself mingling amongst the "stars". Still, getting work wasn't easy as so much of "on-camera" is about the "look" as well as the talent. I'm a character actress in a small body with a wholesome, girl-next-door "look"...but I could play so much more. And as soon as I ventured into VO, I just started getting work, so I went to where the jobs were.
I've been doing it for almost 10 years now, so I guess that makes me a veteran. I love voicing characters and get hired to voice games, animation, and toys. Most recently, as I've aged ('tis true) I've started pursuing more narration work. I'm vocally versatile and personally sound. :)
RECENTLY BOOKED PROJECTS
A bunch of video games I can't talk about. A promo for a THQ game. A series for pre-school kids where I voice little boys & yap like a penguin (when required).
VOICE DESCRIPTION
Vocally versatile. Natural voice is sexy and smooth, or perky and energetic, depending on required read. And anything in between. Friendly, warm, fun, and "knowing' vocal qualities.
DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions
I get hired a lot to voice villains, sexy heroines, kids (both boys & girls), goddesses, flying yellow chickens, accented roles and much more.
To be honest, I can be good at sounding "like" someone, however, dead-on impressions are more of a challenge.
