RESUMÈ
My name is Traci Crotteau and I’m from Lakeview, Oregon. I am a Voice-Over Actress specializing in commercials and narration, but am willing to work on just about any script that is put in front of me. I spent twelve years in radio and television broadcasting, mostly as a Television News Anchor/Reporter. Voice-Over acting was a natural transition from my news career. Thanks to technology, it allows me to make money for my family and stay home with my children. I live in a very rural area in Oregon, but invested in an in-home studio, complete with a professional microphone and Pro Tools editing software. Not only do I have a four year college degree, and a radio/television broadcasting certificate, I trained professionally in voice acting. My voice is described as warm and authoritative with a kind, Midwestern accent. I look forward to connecting with you for your voice acting needs.
