When people find out what I do for a living, their first reaction is “Wow! That’s so cool!” Then they look down at the two adorable little boys I have in tow and ask, “how do you find the time to do all that with the kids?” The answer? It’s not easy. Finding perfect balance …
When you’re building your voice over business and trying to set up your home studio, one of the most confusing things you’ll stumble upon is the subject of ISDN. You may hear other voice actors talking about terms like ipDTL, Source Connect, Telos Zephyrs…what language are they speaking?!? Well, I still have not figured out …
I am proud to state that I am now officially represented by AB2 Talent in San Francisco! This is exciting, as it’s my first voiceover agent, and I am on the roster with some voice talents that I respect and admire. Looking forward to booking work with them!
I recently had the opportunity to try out a fairly new service called Voicezam, and wanted to share my experiences with it. Voicezam was created by former agency producer Bob Merkel after he kept getting frustrated having to listen all the way through talent’s demos to maybe hear the one demo spot he was looking …
It’s always fun to get to see my voice in action, and even more fun to get to hear myself kicking zombie butt! 🙂 I just found out that a game I voiced a character in, Contagion, has recently been released. It’s available on Steam for the PC. I play Nicole, one of the only …

I can often hear lawnmowers, the dogs next door, thumping bass music in someone’s garage, and noisy trucks passing by on the street. I think they’ve …
Just when I had escaped the evil cricket and gotten back on track…. I’m starting to wonder if recording a book called “Virulent” was tempting fate, haha. When my infant son started sniffling and then developed a nasty fever early last week, I started to worry. While snuggling him and comforting him, I was also …
(Read Parts 1 and 2 if you missed them.) Yesterday, since my husband was home for the weekend, I thought it would be a great opportunity to knock out a bunch of recording. The plan was that he would take the dog and the baby on a long walk, so that I could have a …
Read Part 1 here! Now that I finally finished reading the book (so exciting! Can’t wait to read the next one and see what happens next!) and making character and pronunciation notes, I’m ready to record! The first thing I did was to take a good look at my recording space and make sure it’s …
