BIOGRAPHY
London-based US voice, 30s. Home Studio. Full UK work permit. Standard American "RP", Mid-Atlantic, and regional accents including Midwestern (raised in Kansas) and Brooklyn (family). My voice is quite young-sounding and I often play teens/20s. I am a trained actor and continue to work with Method Acting London. Additionally, I am fluent in French and have provided French (anglophone accent) voiceovers for Hachette Publishing. I love any chance to stretch my acting skills!
