Lorraine Thompson

    I’ve always been, much to my poor mother’s dismay, quite dramatic. Growing up, I was always acting out a story or adventure. No surprise, I became a theatre educator, actor, and professional storyteller. And, these three paths led me to voice over.

     As a teacher, I have full understanding of how to utilize words, pacing, emphasis, and vocal variety to communicate information in a clear and engaging manner.  

     As an actor, I understand how to evoke a range of feelings— comfort, inspiration, anger, joy, or fear—through my voice alone.

     As a storyteller, I understand how to vocalize narratives so they resonate with audiences by creating an emotional connection and establishing a sense of trust.

     My voice is like the nice neighbor lady that always smiles and waves when she says “hello” at the mailbox. It’s friendly, personable, confident, human, bright, authentic and more than a little quirky. 

     My voice is like a magician pulling you in with the unexpected.  It is entertaining, changeable, versatile, and surprising. 

     My voice is what is needed at the moment.  It is fresh, prepared, and don’t forget, dramatic.
