"Namakula's temperament in craft is as smooth and fluid as the timbre of her voice. It's always a joy to work with someone who's dedication is at the forefront."
-- Charles Stone III, Director
I love using my voice to paint a picture, tell a story and illicit deep emotion. Being able to affect the listener with the resonance of one's voice is pure magick that I'm ever grateful for. I'm equipped with a VO Home studio and can produce broadcast quality sessions easily.

"STAR STUFF" (a poetry in motion short)
Read more
#Covid19 #CoronaVirus #pandemic #equality #humanity #narration I was the NARRATOR on this impactful piece inspired by the ethereal poem by Georgia Heard, "STAR STUFF". It was produced at the start of the US Covid-19 lockdowns. As a result, the project's initial intention soon took on a broader meaning, as the world rapidly descended into extreme uncertainty, fear and instability. With citizens locked in and isolated from friends and family, healthcare and essential workers pressed, physically and emotionally, loved ones sadly succumbing (many alone), people losing livelihoods and businesses-- the world was on fire. The poem's sublime message is uncannily timely: We are all Human. We are all Unique. We are all Valuable. We are all Vulnerable. Love one another: We are all Connected. "We Are Made of Stars...

From the brilliant mind of artist, Ricardo Miranda Zuniga,"FINTECH FOR THE PRECARIAT" is a wandering world application set in a fantastic cityscape populated by Greed, Lust, Gluttony, Envy, gig workers and 12 voices from NYC's financial spectrum. I'm the omnipotent NARRATOR guiding gamers through this macabre and volatile, virtual underworld. The user wanders about the environment to encounter the creatures that live in it and the financial perspectives and realities of individuals - from financial brokers to recent college grads to computer programmers and cultural workers. It has been projected that the 2020s will be the decade of the FinTech Revolution. This Marketing hyperbole is on the heels of many such revolutions that are sold on the promises of democratization and wealth.
