I’m a versatile voice over artist with over 200 + credits, and I’m honored that many of the projects have been in well known games, animations and Anime. I love creating characters and working with folks to help make their projects’ audio shine and come alive. I’ve been hired to perform kids voices, heroines, sassy villains, charactery old ladies, accented roles, creatures big and small, and everything in between.
During my voice over career, I’ve throughly enjoyed voicing a large variety of characters & narrations for companies such as Lions Gate, Bethesda Game Studios, NC Soft, Electronic Arts, Bandai, Blizzard Entertainment, Cartoon Network, Activision, Miramax Films, Sony, Square Enix, Capcom, Namco, Mattel, Playmates Toys, Atlus, THQ, Konami, NIS American, Nexon, Plantronics, Tamagotchi, Gateway Computers, a NASA non-profit program, and many, many more!
While I’m well-known for many of my game & animation roles, one of my most popular roles to date is Juri Han in the “Street Fighter” series.
Before voice over, I fine-tuned my acting talents with a BFA in Theater Arts from UC Santa Barbara, A.C.T. Summer Conservatory training in San Francisco, assorted acting/voice over classes in LA, many stage performances at well-known LA theaters, and on-camera roles – all which led to my happy success in voice over.
In my spare time, I am a lover of the outdoors, animals, meditation, yoga, swimming, travel and experiencing new adventures. I’m is a little bit tomboy, a little bit girly-girl, and a little bit rock ‘n roll (I love to sing!)
“Voice Over is simply fun in a dark box!”
And because I strive to have fun when I work, I take direction easily and enjoy working with others.
