I have always known I would become a narrator or voice actress. From putting on puppet shows, entertaining truckers on the road with a CB radio (my family traveled constantly), to hosting a radio talk show in college, my voices were entertainment to those around me and in most cases, to myself. I was fascinated by the art and obsessed with movies like "The Talented Mr. Ripley" or any Robin Williams film, the way they flipped a switch and completely changed their voice and persona fascinated me! I thrived on the laughs and the emotions that I could engage.
I cast my dream aside as I got older and realized voice acting was not really a possibility unless I wanted to move to NYC or California, both of which were just too far out of my reach. I have recently walked away from my hard-earned career to pursue my dream of voice acting and becoming a writer. When I discovered Audible, I knew this was it. My husband has been an avid listener for years but I never found the time because of my career. Listening to me with our children the past seven years (the only audience I performed for at the time), he strongly encouraged me to begin researching voice over/narration and from that moment on, we have been in business, focused 100%. My husband has been dabbling in audio software for more than ten years; I have the voice, he brings the technicality.
We have set up an impressive home studio; we upgraded our existing equipment and added even more to our work space. Soon I began recording and sending out auditions, we knew we made the right choice when I was awarded my first (confirmed) offer to produce (through ACX) within my first five auditions.
Some of my favorite books - The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. ANY Michael Crichton novel. The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. Any historical fiction. Any harrowing and thrilling adventure or end-of-days scenarios. I also love realistic hard-truth scenario novels, memoirs, coming of age, fantastical netherworld's.
I love literature.
I love books.
I love this new adventure I have begun...
I am so excited to pursue this lifelong dream and to work with you. I have the time, the talent and the dedication to help you turn your vision and hard-work into an exciting listening experience for your viewers and/or readers.
