A voice that informs, entertains, and creates emotional connection.
My introduction to the U.S. voice-over industry came in Chicago, where I was told that my background in broadcasting could be limiting in the American market. Broadcasters, I was warned, often sound “too newsy.” I knew my voice had more range to offer — and after working with a Los Angeles casting director to develop a new demo reel, new opportunities quickly followed.
After moving to Los Angeles, I recorded both remotely and in studio environments, performing original animation roles, dubbing cartoon series, and voicing documentaries, television programs, commercials, and digital content. My work included several episodes of Fashion Police at the Grammy Awards as the German voice for Kelly Osbourne and Joan Rivers, as well as projects for MSN Germany ranging from celebrity news to technology features.
Over the years, I’ve worked across entertainment, broadcast, and corporate media, developing a versatile style that ranges from clear and authoritative to warm, conversational, and character-driven.
My voice has been described as grounded, and expressive — earning me the occasional nickname “The Earth Mother.”
Since returning to Europe, I have worked as a news presenter and editor for German media outlets while continuing voice-over work for television and digital productions.

In hiring her, I knew I had someone special but, when she came aboard, she not only exceeded the expectations of the role, she elevated the entire product with a level of professionalism and deep understanding of the marketplace. Her German fluency became a secondary need as she seamlessly integrated US and German content knowledge and language needs.
