GET TO KNOW ME

I do more than talk for a living. I listen. I understand that you have 5 seconds to get your audience engaged, and that it’s essential that I know how you want your narrative to be embodied. I get clear on that part of the creative process first.

Then, I bring your creative vision to life, making each word sound the way you heard it in your mind for your commercial, narration, tutorial, podcast, animation, IVR, promo, imaging or other voice-over project. 

As a full-time, professional voice-over actress with 20 years of experience, my goal is to bring your story to life, explain your mission, represent your brand and encourage others to buy into it. My authentic voice offers a rich, warm, silky, textured tone that is as versatile as it is timeless. It captures your audience’s attention and envelopes them in your message. Just listen for yourself.

An Original Voice

Having the opportunity to lend my distinctive voice to an array of voice-over work and being able to awaken an audience’s imagination, emotion and curiosity is a gift. I deliver voice-over narratives in many fresh flavors, including edgy, energetic, soft, relatable, inspirational, honest and conversational. No matter what, my voice is always delivered with heart and soul. I can alternate from sophisticated and upscale to hip and attitude-forward, from professional woman to charming young mom, in a heartbeat.

Music to Your Ears

With over a decade of experience as a house-music DJ and on-air radio host, cadence, tempo, dynamics and musicality all play a vital role in how I approach voice-over work with an instinctive ear for timing and precision. My “national sound” is accent-neutral and culturally flexible, appealing to a wide range of clients, such as Google, Honda, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Accenture and Capgemini, and offering the unique opportunity to connect with a broad spectrum of listeners.

Business Acumen

I truly understand both the art and the business of voice-overs. As a former marketing and brand-development executive, I appreciate how important each narrative is to the success of your account. Business outcomes, budgets and deadlines are terms as familiar to me as they are important to you. Count on me to be dependable, deadline-driven and responsive.
