BIOGRAPHY
I was born in Chicago, and graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts. Living in New York for 11 years, I soaked in African and West Indian accents. For the past 20 years I’ve swum in the swagger of Atlanta, GA. All that experience, the language come into play in my work as a voice actor. I've been recording audiobooks since 1987, and have 125 to my credit. See my website www.janinaspeaksvolumes.biz for a complete list of my titles. I also enjoy doing elearning and educational voiceovers.
