My voice thrives in the mid range, but with a warm and soothing quality, as some would say, that works nicely for lucid, articulate expression. I default to a general North American accent that serves excellently for fiction and nonfiction alike, including documentary-style narration, online ads or promos, e-learning content, storytelling, animation, etc.

My voice-over work has been featured in a range of media, such as corporate / product promo videos, YouTube videos, and audiobooks. I have worked as a voice-over artist / narrator through Amazon/Audible's ACX, producing multiple audiobooks for in60Learning, as well as a growing list of titles in varying genres, including history, business, and Christian novels.
Some seemingly disconnected aspects of my background have proven to tie in rather well for voice acting. Several semesters of vocal training in the Collegium Musicum choir at the University of Georgia helped me gain mastery over the range, timbre, and versatility of my voice. My academic background in linguistics and graduate studies in history have served me well not only in navigating difficult-to-pronounce words and names ranging from French to Japanese, for example, but also in making interpretive decisions about inflection and overall delivery. Lastly, my own reliance on audiobooks for personal study and enjoyment has given me a heightened sensitivity towards the nuances and demands of producing high-quality audio content.
