"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.

   -- Namakula

"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...
