I am a voice artist and vocal AI trainer with 30 years of experience delivering live and recorded productions. I assess dialogue, character consistency, emotional tone, pacing, and conversational coherence, and I train AI systems to produce natural, adaptive speech. I read scripts to sound natural rather than scripted, and I bring a strong sense of vocal tone, timing, and emotional nuance to commercial, creative, and promotional work. In addition to voice work, I write and publish journalism, lecture and mentor students, and lead AI-enabled content creation projects. I co-hosted the Mindplex Podcast with a humanoid robot for four years, co-founded Creative Commons, and have a long track record of building and guiding AI training environments, script generation, and media production for diverse platforms and audiences.
