When I was younger, I used to memorize the exact inflections of cartoon characters. I’d quote Looney Tunes, Homestar Runner, and Teen Girl Squad line for line—studying the rhythm, exaggeration, and humor in every delivery.
Looking back, that was my first real voice training: learning how sound and style create character.
That curiosity eventually grew into a lifelong love of the voice in all its forms...
I studied opera in college, singing in German, Italian, and Latin.
Later, I dove into jazz and Bossa Nova at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where I fell in love with the flow of Portuguese.
On my own, I explored the raw intensity of screamo-style singing.
And for the past 20 years, I’ve been teaching voice—helping others unlock their own sound.
All of this shapes how I approach voice over. I don’t just see it as reading lines—I see it as storytelling through tone, style, and nuance.
Whether it’s playful, dramatic, quirky, or heartfelt, I bring both versatility and a deep passion for the craft.
I’ve had the chance to step into character work as one of the leads in the upcoming animated series Loaners, and I continue to explore voice in new ways through my podcast, SoundPaint Sonic Exploration.
Paired with my background in audio engineering, I can deliver not only expressive performances but also recordings that are polished, clean, and broadcast-ready.
If you’re looking for a voice that blends heart, range, and technical know-how, I’d love to collaborate!
Whether it’s animation, narration, podcasting, or something unexpected, I’m here to help you tell your story.
