Voice Description

Let's tell your story, clearly, directly, cleanly. Not slick, just honest.

I have a professional voice over studio in my home where I do most of my work. Delivery can be live and real time via ISDN or Source Connect to any studio in the world. Or, you can listen in through a phone patch and in a matter of minutes you'll have your voice tracks through the Internet, using my site or yours.

I'll also record self-directed if you wish and deliver your audio on time in the format you need, again using my site or yours, as you wish.

A session backup can be provided on audio or data CD or DVD, over night.

My Voice Experience

You've already heard my voice many times, especially if you've watched PBS, flown on US Airways, learned English as a second language or watched a computer-based training course.

Since 1983 it's been my delight to help tell the stories of business large and small, in television and radio commercials, training films, CD-ROMs, imaging for a very select group of major market radio stations, and on the Internet. I'd enjoy to work with you, too.

I've helped UPS workers learn how to load their delivery trucks, helped train technicians do maintenance and upgrades on industrial lasers, helped telephone technicians install the latest switch upgrades in their central office, helped lawn care professionals identify weeds and pests in your yard.

Banks, hospitals, medical clinics and insurance companies often use my voice to tell their story in commercials.

Currently studying with Marice Tobias. I've also studied with Nancy Wolfson. Took part in 8 voice training seminars with Dick Orkin and Christine Coyle. Attended five voiceover classes led by Pat Fraley, including an audiobook master class. Attended a voiceover seminar with Harlan Hogan. Trained as an opera singer for 10 years.
