Directing For ProDucers

Directing Performances That Meet Your Vision

As a voice director, I bring a blend of performance insight, casting experience, production awareness and a collaborative spirit of joy to every project. My goal is to create a safe, inspiring environment where actors (especially children) can deliver their most authentic work all while serving the production's needs.

Let's Collaborate

My Approach

I believe great direction starts with trust and kindness. When performers feel respected, supported, and free to play, the results speak for themselves.

I work closely with producers to uphold the creative vision while maintaining clarity, consistency, and efficiency across every story.

What To Expect

Consistency Start to Finish

I often cast and direct. I ensure that the production's tone, pacing, and character continuity carry through every stage.

4.

Collaborative Energy

I partner with producers, engineers, agents and actors to keep sessions efficient, creative, and energizing.

6.

HUMOUR & HEART

I'm known for helping actors "find the funny" and land it honestly, while honouring the quiet moments that brings balance, depth, and heart.

In no particular order because the magic happens between them.

Child-Focused Expertise

I bring patience and respect to every project, creating a safe, fun space for kids while keeping production on track.

My Philosophy

Direction isn't about control, it's about connection.

When people feel good, they do their best work. That's why every project and session I lead is grounded in respect, collaboration, and fun.

knowledge of talent, voice directing, problem-solving skills, and teamwork. Denise has played a
pivotal role in finding the best actors to play the characters I created as well as direct them in
such a fun-loving, but productive way that has resulted in us getting some of the best voice

to watch the magic happen and be a part of it."
