TITLE:
Voice Talent and Presentation Skills Coach (Voice Presentations Ltd.)
WHO IS YOUR PERSONAL VOCAL MENTOR OR INSPIRATION?

WHAT'S ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'D GIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO DO WHAT YOU DO AND IS JUST GETTING STARTED?
Decide if being a freelancer/entrepreneur is in your blood, then, ask other voice talent the hard questions about money, time, and energy to determine whether voice acting is right for you, beyond the sound of your voice.
TELL US WHY YOU CONTRIBUTED TO THE VOICE MESSAGES INDIEGOGO CAMPAIGN.
Beyond verbal communication, the voice and all its nuances deepens all communication and the full expression of who we are. I am fascinated by all that is elicited by the voice and this documentary explains this phenomenon from every direction.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION.
Being a “Voice Talent” came to me as a bit of surprise, as did being a “Presentation Skills Coach”. A graduate of Radio and Television Arts and a Singer, my business is a natural extension of my education and passions and yet, I spent a lot of time flitting about, moving from one side of Canada to the other, one side of the US to the other, plus the Caribbean for good measure. And yet, through the magical power of technology, I am able to run my business with the flexibility of a gymnast voicing commercials and business videos from my home studio and communicating with coaching clients over the phone and Skype. I love what I do. The voice, technology, creativity…all coming together.
