I have been where you are now: confused, unfocused, and seeking to find your place in the voiceover world. I will do everything I can to help you understand the voiceover industry, your relationship to it, and instill in you best practices so you can be an effective voiceover business for a long, long time.
As a classically trained theater actor, I received my Bachelor of Fine arts in Acting/Directing from Montclair State University. My training continued at the National Shakespeare Conservatory where I studied Shakespeare, Chekov, ballet, and more.
After NSC I was trained as a voice actor by Hope Noah, Dan Duckworth of Voiceovers Unlimited, and have taken numerous voiceover classes at many conferences.
I started coaching in 2011 with Edge Studio as the Business and Money 201 and Marketing 201 instructor. In 2012 I began private coaching as The VO Strategist. Since then I have worked with hundreds of students in both one-on-one sessions and public speaking engagements.
