VO demos

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!

Easy to listen to with a warm caring vibe for narration. Professional and strong yet smooth for presentations. Character specialist! For characters I have a wide variety of stock voices as well as a number of dialects. Mix a dialect with a character and it takes on a whole new dimension. GREAT cartoon, children, animation and comedy voices. Wide vocal range. Versatile!

DIALECTS: Scottish, Irish, South African, German, Russian, French, Australian, British, Cockney, English, North American, Euorpean.

Accents include: New York, Bronx, Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, Atlanta, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah, Florida, Nebraska, Illinois, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Southern, Western

Impersonations include: Katharine Hepburn, Marg Simpson, ET, WALL-E
