I love teaching people about the fun and exciting world of voice acting. My enthusiasm and
personable attitude allows students to relax, have fun, and really absorb the information. I
have had great success in the field, and have been the voice of several, well known National Radio and Television advertisers from coast to coast. My experience allows me to easily identify strengths, as well as areas of improvement, with my students. My primary goal is for each and every student in attendance to grow from my class, and leave with a feeling of personal satisfaction with their performances, and comfort in their knowledge of what it takes to make it in the voice acting business.

Teaching voice acting is a natural extension of my love for creating characters. My energy,
optimism, and strong understanding of the fundamentals, makes me an effective teacher. I create an environment of mutual support and comfort, that allows my students to let go and challenge themselves in uncharted territory. I began acting on stage when I was 4, was in my first professional play at 13, and have continued to work professionally throughout my life in touring and regional theatre productions. My voice has been heard from San Francisco to Chicago to New York City to Montreal in various projects including radio commercials, industrial videos, online animation, audio books, podcasts, and on-hold messages. My main objectives in class are to provide students with an experience that will introduce them to voice acting, and give them the confidence to be successful in various areas of the field.
