Let me do your talking
Casting agents and ad agencies prioritize voice actors who can bring scripts to life with clarity and emotion. Whether for commercials, corporate narration, or eLearning, they look for voices that resonate with target audiences.
A compelling audition often stands out not just for vocal quality but for the ability to convey the right tone and energy.

Voice acting directors approach casting with a keen ear for authenticity and versatility. They seek talent that not only matches the vocal profile of a character but also delivers a performance that feels natural and engaging.
A strong read, adaptability, and the ability to take direction well are key factors in their decision-making process.
Adaptability really is the key, especially if you’re asked to change up your approach and go a completely different direction. Just my thoughts for the day.
Have fun with it!

đ The Power of a Well-Voiced eLearning Module đď¸
For eLearning producers and audio mixing pros, you know that great visuals and solid instructional design are just part of the equation. But what about the voice that delivers the content?
A well-delivered narration can:
â
Keep learners engaged, preventing “click-through” fatigue
â
Match the pacing and tone of your content for better retention
â
Save you time in post-production with clean, professional audio
If youâve ever had to âfixâ a poorly delivered VO in the mix, you know how much of a difference a polished, professional read makes.
Letâs connect! Iâd love to hear what you look for in a voiceover partner.

Picking Up Where I Left Off đď¸
My voiceover journey began in 1997, fueled by a deep love for storytelling and creativity. I dove into trainingâvoiceover, narration, and commercial actingâlearning the nuances of the craft. But life had other plans. Between a full-time job, marriage, and raising two kids, my dreams had to take a back seat.
Fast forward to 2020: I decided it was time to revisit that dream. Stepping back into the world of voiceover has been both humbling and exhilarating. Itâs taught me that passion doesnât fadeâit waits for the right moment to reignite.
For those whoâve taken the scenic route to their goals, I see you. And for my fellow creatives in this space, Iâd love to hear your stories: How did your journey start? What keeps you inspired?
