Spots

I help Creative Directors, Video Producers, and Account Managers bring scripts to life with warmth, clarity, and just the right touch of personality. Whether your spot is headed for television, radio, streaming platforms, or social media, I deliver voice over that feels real, human, and in step with your brand’s message.

Narrations

Corporate narration doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it plays a vital role in how companies communicate. From onboarding new employees to explaining innovative, new technology, a well-crafted narration ensures your message is both clear and compelling. It’s about balancing information with authenticity, and delivering it in a way that truly connects.

eLearning

At its best, eLearning is more than a slideshow with a voice. It’s a guided journey, where the learner feels supported, understood, and motivated to keep going. And just like a great teacher makes all the difference in a classroom, the right narrator makes all the difference in digital learning. It needs the humanity to understand where the learner is at and celebrate their achievement.

Telecom

In the world of telecommunications, every message counts. From call processing prompts and IVR recordings to on-hold productions, the right voice not only communicates information, it shapes the customer experience. A clear, professional recording can reduce frustration, boost satisfaction, and reflect positively on your brand.

authoritative female voice for award show

Voice of God

From introducing keynote speakers to guiding audiences through award shows, a strong, confident announcer ensures the program flows smoothly and feels professional. It’s not just about reading names — it’s about commanding the room, keeping the spotlight on the honorees, and helping every moment land with impact.

SOVAS female voice over

2023 - eLearning

I deliver broadcast quality audio, but use a very light touch on the EQ. If you'd prefer I bypass, just ask. I'm happy to record on the dry channel.

Who Am I?

Kid-friendly female voice over

I decided early on that I wanted a career in media...ok, maybe not quite this early. But I was a huge WKRP fan, so I studied broadcasting at North Central College. I got my degree in Broadcasting & in Criminal Justice, worked at a small production company & was on my way.

grounded female voice over

I began booking & have coached with so many greats! Lili Wexu, Mary Lynn Wissner, Steven Reisberg, & Linda Bruno to drop but a few names.
I was so honored to be a 2023 SOVAS nominee for the eLearning demo I completed after coaching and recording with Anne Ganguzza.

animal loving female voice over

I love training & competing with our Australian Cattle Dog, Friday. At the moment we're chasing a Utility Dog title, as well as Rally Masters. She already has her Canine Good Citizen & Trick Dog Elite Performer Titles. She's one smart cookie!

nature loving female voice over

I also love nature & all my perennials. I indulge in tracking in our forest preserves. It's hard to see but here's a track I laid for JJ the Golden Retriever. He passed & got his Tracking Dog Excellent Title. A day spent in the forest preserve with my friends, laying track in the weeds...what could be better!
