Instructor Bio
I am a lifelong student,teacher andcoach. Ibelieve that we never stop learning and growing. Ibelieve that success is something that is different for each person and that our individuality and characteris our power,not our money,possessions or popularity. We have the choice every day to make our lives better, and its never too late to start pursuing your dreams...
Growing up in Danbury Forest in Springfield Virginia, Ifirst developed mylove for imagination and creativity when Ifirst saw Star Wars as a young boy.Movies and music were so much a part of mylife that Idecided to learn as much as Icould about the many sides of entertainment. I was forbidden from acting as a kid, in spite of being offered a contract at a talent agency. That stuck with me for a long time and when I was an adult I decided to pursue my creative dreams. I did find a way to teach myself how to play multiple instruments and began playing music and writing songs in bands. My journey of learning about music and productiontook me to both New York and Florida where Iearned two associates degrees. Once Igraduated I immediately left for Los Angeles California.
My first paid job in Los Angeles was asa dialogue recordist on some of the most popular animated shows from the early 2000's fromWarner Brothers, Universal and others. It was there that Idiscovered what Voice-Acting was and how Iwanted to be doing that on the other side of that glass.It was a great learning experience but thecreative side of myself needed to be set free to fly...I left that studioto work as an actor on stage and on-camera, taking the very long and indirectroad to becoming a Voice-Actor. It was an exciting and difficult time.(The entertainment business is not what most people think ). Idid plays which won some awards and secured a great agent winningco-star and guest star roles for such shows as ABC's "Son's and Daughter's" and WB's "the Gilmore Girls" .
I am also a songwriter/musicianand currently haveoriginal music currently running on such TV shows as "Say Yes to the Dress", "Tiny House Nation" , "Randy to the Rescue", NASCARand more.
Ihave always had a passion for helping others and became certified as a Holistic Life Coach and an NLP pratctitionersome years back. I have always had a deep connection to spirit and learned that I had the gift of Intuition, that when tapped into it,could help me navigate through challenging experiences.
Ibegan working at the SAG Foundations Voice-Over Lab to help myself andothers develop their strength as a voice-actors and starting noticing that the people Ihelped started booking jobs. This lead me to creating what is nowthe the best-selling Udemy course:Voice-Over 101 Plus to help people book national commercials, animated series, video games, e-learning, audiobooks and live-announcing. Clientshave booked jobs for companies like: Disney, DreamWorks Animation,GoDaddy, andMaybelline justto name a few. Its all of the information I wish I had when first starting out in Voice-Over.
I amcurrently represented as a Voice-Over artist in Los Angeles with Solid Talent and inTexas at The Atherton Group. I amalsothe creator of the self-empowermentprograms:"The System of Strength" and the brand new courses "Rock-Solid Confidence- Confidence for Sensitive Warriors" and "Develop your Intuition".
Ienjoy working as a one-on-one coach, helping people unleash their inner voice and power.
