Currently, I’m involved with the recording of podcasts, albums, audiobooks, radio show introductions, podcast bumpers, television/radio commercials, interviews, manifestos, acting and narration for long format video projects.
I collaborate with Ananga Sivyer for our popular Anxiety Slayer Podcast with just under 5.5+ million downloads! Together we create guided relaxation albums that are distributed by iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby. We also provide custom music and audio recordings for clients around the globe.
I am the professional voice you hear introducing New York Times Best-Selling author, Kristine Carlson’s podcasts and digital mentoring programs, as well as the announcer for Best-Selling publisher, Linda Joy’s radio show and personal brands.
I enjoy supporting heart-centered female authors, entrepreneurs, and coaches to create a media presence for their books, special events, and signature offerings with my kick off interviews, voice work, and podcast training. I also have a knack for helping my clients repurpose and leverage their great work. Check out some of my Rave Reviews.
