My education and professional background is in Western Classical vocal music performance (e.g. opera, recital, and some musical theatre). I have a Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (2014) and a Master of Music degree in vocal arts from the Bard College Conservatory of Music (2017). With over 10 years of education and professional experience in vocal performance, I am well versed in the intricacies of the human voice, and have a strong command of my own vocal technique. As such, I speak with a full, healthy sound, and my voice is dexterous and versatile, lending itself well to reading fiction and other genres with multiple characters. As a theatre artist, my script analysis and interpretation skills are also tried and true, as evidenced in my press reviews below. In the realm of voice over, I have taken several courses to acquire the skills necessary for audiobook production, including (and most recently) Julie Eickhoff's Online School for Voice Over. In her personalized review of my voice samples, Julie said, Your recordings are so clean, your voice is so strong and you're a storyteller....Your ability to tell the story and command our attention was top notch. Your intonation and theatricals with the script were fun to listen to. Adjectives describing my voice include: Animated, Approachable, Authoritative, Believable, Bubbly, Charismatic, Cheerful, Clear, Conversational, Deep, Enchanting, Energetic, Friendly, Gentle, Knowledgeable, Lively, Low, Luxurious, Mature, Penetrating, Polished, Trustworthy.
