She has been telling stories in all genres of voiceover (commercials, animation, video games, tv narration, promo, audiobooks et al) for 25+ years including being the voice of many high profile and long-running campaigns like Subaru and Citibank.

Inspired by the discipline of martial arts and the fun and playfulness of improv, at The V.O. Dojo we encourage voiceover artists to approach their craft fearlessly and with the wisdom of a warrior.

Unlike many other training programs, the Dojo takes a wonderfully unique and holistic approach to the business of voiceover. We concentrate not only on formal skills and techniques but also on the mind/body/spirit connection necessary to communicate your truth and connect with your audience.
