Welcome! \xa0Did I mention that I love what I do? \xa0(You probably read that on the first page.\xa0 )\xa0I collaborate with clients all over the world from my broadcast quality studio, voicing national and international commercial campaigns for companies like Bissell, Kraft/Capri Sun and Visit Orlando, narrating documentaries & web/explainer videos along with shows on both Slice Network in Canada and HGTV in the US. \xa0I\u2019ve even played the role of a fairy queen in a children\u2019s cartoon (and wow, was that fun!).\xa0
My journey to voice overs actually started with a love of computers. \xa0I used to sell computers when the 386-SX was new (remember those days?). \xa0That graduated to a love of the Internet and all that it could do (quite a lot!). \xa0I spent a number of years as an SEO specialist and media buyer for local companies, and along the way, incorporated my love of music and the Internet together when I created a songwriting resource website called The Muse\u2019s Muse back in 1995. \xa0That was my testing ground for a LOT of Internet marketing methods.
But back then, there was more than one search engine that mattered. \xa0The minute that changed \u2026 well. \xa0I knew I needed a change.
I\u2019ve been a singer all my life (I even have a jazz/blues album out, if you\u2019d like to hear some samples) and have always been comfortable behind a microphone. It naturally made for a fascination with what else I could do with my voice. \xa0I researched, I got coaching (I still get coaching on a regular basis \u2013 there\u2019s always more to learn!), I made a demo (more than one!), and I switched my entrepreneurial focus. \xa0 That was quite a few years ago now and I haven\u2019t looked back.
But what few people know? I\u2019m a geeky fangirl at heart. \xa0\xa0 I\u2019ve been a member of a filk group called Urban Tapestry since 1994 and we\u2019ve traveled all over the US, Canada & Europe performing our geeky fangirl songs for the folks that appreciate it. \xa0 Ask me about Star Wars, Star Trek, Firefly, or tabletop gaming and you\u2019ll be in for a lengthy conversation (if you want one, that is).
Feel free to listen to my\xa0demos\xa0to see if you think I\u2019d be right for your project. \xa0I\u2019d love to work with you.\xa0
