Spots

Genres

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 conversational voice over that feels real, human,and in step with your brand’s message.

conversational and authoritative midwestern female voice over for corporate narrations

Corporate narration doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it plays a vital role in how companies communicate. I have experience onboarding new employees and explaining innovative, new technology. My 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.

Narration

conversational and authoritative female eLearning voice over narrator

eLearning

My clear, relatable eLearning voice over is 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. You need the humanity of a real human voice, like mine, to understand where the learner is at and to celebrate their progress and achievement.

In the world of telecommunications, every message counts. From call processing prompts and IVR recordings to on-hold productions, my voice over doesn't just communicate information, it shapes the customer experience. My warm, professional recording reduces frustration, boost satisfaction, and reflects positively on your brand.

Emcee

From introducing keynote speakers to guiding audiences through award shows, my strong, confident master of ceremonies read ensures the program flows smoothly and feels professional. For me, 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.

conversational 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?

conversational and Kid-friendly professional 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.

Professional midwestern female voice talent

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, conversational 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!

conversational, nature-loving female voice actor

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!
