About

A deep, resonant, expressive voice with an excellent sense of timing are my hallmarks. 15 years of performance Improv have shaped my acting acumen. I've had audiobook coaching sessions with Jeffrey Kafer, Johnny Heller and Jesse Bickford. My tech has been fine-tuned by Don Baarns. I enjoy character work in fiction and embrace the 'storyteller' moniker. I also enjoy the challenge of technical non-fiction. Most of the projects I have completed thus far are horror, thriller, murder mystery, fantasy, LitRPG, and humorous fiction, with a few auto-biographies and a medical university textbook.

Training: Coaching from Jeffrey Kafer, Johnny Heller and Jesse Bickford. Two years of NENR attendance and coaching.
