“I’m gonna guess…you’re…English?”

I recently attended a Skype session with an administrator from a popular international site for voiceover artists and clients. The question-and-answer session was incredibly helpful and informative, and I’m very glad I went. Also glad because there was a particular instance that evening that provided me with opportunity for linguistic study from a rather interesting

“Oh, why can’t everyone be as happy as I am, Lizzy?”

I just finished recording, editing, and submitting my lines for my recent role of Jane Bennet in a LibriVox reading of Mary Keith Medbery Mackaye’s Pride and Prejudice: A Play. So incredibly fun. Especially because I’m always happy for any opportunity to stretch my RP English legs a bit...especially as such a beloved Austin character.

In the Classroom of Demosthenes

On the day after Christmas, my sister and I went for a run in Carmel.

I hadn’t run on

A Little Bit About Me

Welcome, and thank you for visiting my site! Just a bit about me: I am a mom, a wife, a writer, an editor, a former teacher, and a voiceover artist. I greatly enjoy being out of doors - warm weather or cold, almost any time of year. I appreciate trees and meadows, creeks and rivers,
