Hi! I’m Tessa, and here’s a little bit of what I do:
Podcast Writer/Producer
I’m a writer and producer at the Webby-winning, Gotham/Variety Award-winning, Kennedy Center ‘Next 50’ kids’ podcast Girl Tales. I produced the ‘Dear Potato’ series for Pinna, and wrote for Signal Award-winner The Ten News. I also mastered audio for the Scottish Wanderings Podcast.
Voiceover Artist
I voice commercials for companies like Kohl’s, Hendrick’s, Smirnoff, Etsy, SquareSpace, AIG, American Express, and more. Some of my favorite character work includes June the Moon in Casper Sleep Channel, NPCs in Goat Simulator 3, and Maeve, guiding players through the game Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain. Here’s my VO reel.
Filmmaker
For the Home Alone Film Challenge, I created several shorts. Always Shoot Twice and West of the Shade both won Best Film & Best Directing. My personal favorite, A Slice of Revenge, did not win anything. As an actor, I appear in Ladies Room and Pasta.
Theater Maker
TENTACLES is my award-winning, critically-acclaimed one-act play about Tentacle Porn. Life in Plastic is my award-winning autobiographical solo show about Barbie. I have written and performed on Magnet Theater sketch teams, too.
And More…
I teach Public Speaking at BMCC and dream of building a small cottage somewhere, someday. I also like taking photographs, which you can see here. I even make linocut prints sometimes!
