Mechanical engineer returning to voice over work after a nearly-two-decade hiatus. Conversant in (and comfortable with) jargon from multiple technical fields.

As a teen, voiced multiple characters on accompanying tapes and cartoons for children learning English as a second language while living in Beijing, China. Grew up in multiple countries (and traveled significantly for current job), so conversant in French, and familiar with accents of native speakers (speaking English) in many countries.

Performed in collegiate a cappella groups (including one that competed in ICCA) as well as choirs and vocal groups throughout my life. Involved (both onstage and backstage) in many theatrical productions middle school through college. 

Currently working on several audiobooks via ACX, but looking to expand into other genres as well. More info available at zimavaltrades.com
