Story

I’m the voice actor with the fruit punch accent that ad agencies Love!

 

I’ll tell you how I got that title!

 

From a young age, teachers began writing a strange phrase on my report card – “Too talkative!” And having started my globe-trotting ‘career’ at age 7, I quickly learned the art of adapting to different cultures and picked up a variety of accents along the way.

 

In high school, I honed my skills even further as a competitive policy debater in NYC, mastering the ability to speed read without sacrificing clarity or coherence. I would often amuse my friends with spot-on impersonations of them, as well as the celebrities we were big fans of.

 

And in my secret life as a barrister, I bring a unique perspective to the world of voice acting, with a deep understanding of advocacy, public speaking, and persuasion.

 

I have lived and worked in almost 10 countries and have traveled to many. During my (still) globe-trotting, I worked in sales (cold sales and with leads), food and beverage, the apparel industry, advertising, academic/policy/legal research and international development. I have heard the voices and stories of many and know how to tune my voice to the familiar neighbourly voice of the listener. As an empathetic and intuitive person, I can embody the feeling of the character and emit the emotions of that character.

 

There is a wide range of experiences I draw from, which is reflected in my ability to be a chameleon in my acting.

 

Your listeners want to be associated with a quality brand and a quality brand says a quality hello – let me say hello for you.

 

P.S – Still too talkative. Still sending long voice notes to friends. Can’t help myself.
