Highlights
Put your money where my mouth is, and get results. There are lots of great sounding pipes out there who 'announce' and 'read,' but if you want someone who vocally sets apart your product, service, brand or image, you want a voice artist/actor. It's all about interpretation...making the transition of your message from the page to the audio stage. The words of your message have literal and emotional meanings. You want a voice artist who can pick up a script, and have an immediate grasp of how the words on your pages translate into character, mood and tone of the delivery. A professional voice artist and trained actor, I have been in the business since 1982, with a list of clients that range from regional retailers to international corporations, and just about everything in between. I have a complex vocal pitch range from deep contralto bottom notes to bright mezzo-soprano top notes ... the combination has a distinctive audio edge that sets me apart. Plus, I have the delivery acrobatics (and proven experience) to give my clients whatever the job takes. I have an in-house recording studio outside Chicago, and I am also affiliated with a full-service audio sound studio and jingle writing company in Texas.
