PLEASE TALK ABOUT HOW YOU GOT STARTED IN THE VOICE-OVER INDUSTRY.

I started in entertainment as an on-camera actor, which I was for many years. One of my former on-camera agents approached me asking if I would like to also be submitted for voiceover opportunities, so I said yes and got my first commercial VO demo made. I wasn’t looking to focus on VO at the time but was very fortunate to book some commercial work very quickly and ended up as the brand voice for a doll company for 7 years. That really planted the seed for my love of VO. I ended up getting burnt out on the on-camera scene, and when I became a mom, I completely stepped away from acting to focus on my twin boys. However, I very quickly missed performing and realized voiceover was a way to have that creative outlet while being at home with my kids. I decided to start pursuing that area again and got some traction right away in the corporate narration space. I leaned into that and, within a year, was able to leave my full-time marketing job and go full-time with VO. That was 5 years ago, and I am happier than ever to still be doing this every day.
