About Marni I am noted for my storytelling quality; also, very strong as a soft and feminine voice, lots of smile with dimple when asked for. I am great at delivering from warm, to sexy-plus, to extremely smooth, to corporate sounds or girl-and-mom-next-door voices. I'm an acclaimed actress who can do real conversation "really well" as well as informational narratives, and a whole roster of character voices and dialects for real or animation. Some of these include: southern, French, English ("posh" and "cockney"), Australian, Irish, Scottish, Japanese, Hawaiian pidgin (I grew up in Hawaii) more...When it comes to phone/mail messages, I'm tops and oft-requested.

I'm the phone voice of a national bank, several hospitals, an Amtrak facility, and others. I'm particularly good at making tech reads sound listenable.
ALSO: I can do children's voices, grannies, teenagers, vamps, over-the-top types (I have voiced for cartoons), sexy, mom, ditzy,robotic, nagging wife ... and more.
