​About me

​Hi, I'm Virginia—like the state! I am a professional actor and voice artist based in Detroit, with a focus on video games, museum guides, documentary narration, mocap and pcap! I also do audio dramas, commercials, dubbing, eLearning, and corporate narration and I'm always willing to try new things!

​I'm a thespian/theater nerd with over a decade of on- and backstage experience, ballroom and musical theater dance experience, and a little bit of puppetry training. When I'm not acting I'm a novelist and a part-time semi-professional rabbit wrangler.

​I once traded my legs to a sea witch for a beautiful singing voice (good thing I can swim!) and ​I'm excited to lend that voice to your projects.
​
I so look forward to collaborating with you!
