A little about me
I love storytelling, plain and simple. Narrating a great story, and bringing all of the fascinating characters to life is my dream job. I am always up for a challenge, and because I have extensive work in theater, I am a great collaborator on projects. I have worked on audiobooks for all different genres, and have enjoyed them all equally. — Melinda

My Story
I am a professionally-trained stage actor that began my career in New York City. Credits include The New York Shakespeare Festival, Humana Festival, E.S.T., Naked Angels, Atlantic Theater Co., and Summer Play Festival. I believe it is my love of theater that has helped me to transition to audiobooks seamlessly.
Perhaps you have seen me. Film work includes Choke, The Limbo Room, Urban Legend, Sarah's Key, and Three Windows. Television credits include: House of Lies, Damages (recurring), multiple episodes of Law & Order, Spin City, All My Children and Ed.
Perhaps you have heard me. I have worked extensively as a voiceover artist for TV. I was the account voice for Arm & Hammer and Fresh Direct, plus national campaigns for John Hancock, BMW, MasterCard, Lincoln Town Car, Lancôme, and many others. I was the voice of the LOGO network and have narrated for HGTV's Extreme Homes and The New York Historical Society. Radio work includes the award-winning Subway campaign. I have recorded numerous pharmaceutical audio books for Pfizer. Additionally, I have done multiple character voices on videogames for Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto 4, Vice City Stories, China Town Wars and the voice of Pamela Anderson for MTV's Celebrity Death Match.
Things I am very proud of: Obie Award for best ensemble cast for Hot Keys (Off Broadway award), Neilsen's Top 10 Most Memorable Commercials for 2013 (Subway badonka donk radio campaign), Radio Mercury Award. Best Play in the largest international short play festival.
