I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor, Voiceover Coach, Vocal Coach
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE: I earned my degree from the University of Miami School of Music and have had extensive experience in theater, on-camera, voiceover, singing, and vocal coaching. I have performed professionally throughout the DC metro area where I performed for 7 years and moved to the Dallas market where I worked for 4 years. Currently, I am based in Atlanta, where I have worked since 2010.
THEATRICAL CREDITS include: 2002 Page to Stage Festival (Kennedy Center), Finalist in 2003 DC Actors' Center Showcase, The Who's Tommy! (Studio Theatre), 2003 & 2004 South Asian Literary and Theatre Arts Festival, and The Washington Savoyards.
SINGING: Trained singer with 15 years of professional singing experience ranging from opera, operetta, musical theater and jazz to adult contemporary. I can read music and can sing both lead & harmonies. Because of my vocal training, my voice is very versatile as far as tone and range.
My range is alto & soprano. Vocal Styles include: jazz, contemporary, musical theater, legit / classical, belt, and pop. If you want it sung straight with no vibrato, you got it! If you want it all vibrato, I got you covered. Check out my singing demos if you are interested.
Additional Skills
Take direction well
Fun, professional, and easy to work with...at least I think so. (hahah!)
Pay attention to detail and Clear in delivery
Need a jingle singer? I can sing all styles of music from opera, jazz, and musical theater to contemporary pop. So jingles are not a problem. I am a recording artist trained in classical & contemporary voice and received my Bachelor's of Music from University of Miami Frost School of Music. I also studied at University of North Texas College of Music and am currently completing my graduate degree in music at Georgia State University (2013).
