About Me

I came to voice work for the reason most of us do- something was missing. As an actor I often lost my voice. There was a disconnect between my desire to communicate and my ability to do so.

In our voices we carry our histories; everything we have learned, every word we have spoken, every story we were told. In this way all voices are constructed, often unconsciously. There is no secret “true” or “authentic” voice lying below the surface. What there is, is an opportunity to open into your passion to share and receive from your authentic self.

When our voices are not serving us there is usually a disconnect between what we want to say and what we are saying with our body/breath/thought connection.

Do you want to be a better communicator? Give more generous and connected performances? Land the pitch? Feel confident speaking with and presenting to your peers?

Your voice can support your desires the way your skeleton supports your body. Let your voice expand, let your speech carry you. This work will not only make you a better communicator and performer, but it will do so by helping you feel grounded, connected and empowered.
