About me

Short description of my voice:
Native Russian voice: warm and deep for narrations, sexy and fun for commercials, smooth and professional presentations, flexible for characters - from little kids' voices to ancient witches and fantastical creatures. As I am not only a professional actress, but also a professional singer, I can recording songs as well - from deep alto-voice to a clear soprano. I can also speak Geman, English and Latvian at native level but with an accent ranging from slight to strong, depending on what the role requires. Recording in French, Spanish, Italian and Latvian is also doable, providing I have a written text at hand and time to practice.
Additional skills:
Singer/songwriter, guitarist, translation, video & audio editing and mixing.
