As a voice actor, Claudine has served clients on projects ranging from commercials to medical explainers, podcasts to sizzle reels, audio books to live announcing major network award shows - one of them right from her home studio (to more than SIX MILLION VIEWERS)! Claudine has had longevity and success in the realm of promos, voicing countless spots for clients that include USA Network, ESPN, Lifetime, Oxygen, VH1, and MTV. She can be heard in the full-length animated features "Plan Bee" and "An Ant's Life," as the idealistic lead bee and the brassy ant that gets things done, as well as in other animated shorts and series. Her commercial clients include Verizon, Listerine, MasterCard, Betty Crocker, Disney World, Pillsbury, Kit Kat, JC Penney, Pepsi, Sony Music, Boston Market, and Secret Deodorant, among many others.
Claudine has performed for film and television under the direction of Woody Allen, T. Sean Shannon, Jon Brandeis, Stacie Passon and Karl Shefelman to name a few. She has inhabited roles such as the wacky sidekick, high-maintenance neurotic friend, psycho career woman with biological clock ticking and the ever-popular loving Mom on the brink of losing it. Claudine's improv chops are courtesy of Martin de Maat at The Second City. She can be seen in the feature film releases "Looking for the Jackalope" and "Concussion," which drew rave reviews when it premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. "Concussion" was acquired by RADiUS and was released in theaters, VOD and on itunes. Claudine is a cast member of the award-winning episodic web series "Breeding Grounds," appearing in "The Bake Sale." The series is created, written and directed by Susan Skoog.
As an interviewer for television, Claudine inspired Dan Rather to sing and play guitar in Tower Records, John Popper to show the world his booty, got into a (minor) brawl with Jon Bon Jovi and hung with Keith Richards for a pre-noon whisky. She's cooked alongside chef Marcus Samuelsson, parlez-vous-ed with Daniel Boulud, talked sweetbreads with Mario Batali, and slung hash with Anthony Bourdain. Claudine has instigated many more satisfying adventures with some of the greatest artists and pop icons of our times. Claudine has also directed and collaborated with talent that includes actor/comedian/political commentator John Fugelsang and famed rock journalist Anthony DeCurtis.
Claudine is an Emmy Award winning producer, native Brooklynite, fluent French speaker, published photographer, kick-ass Mom, excellent salad maker and is frequently the first one on the dance floor.
rave reviews
"Claudine is the kind of actor you want in your foxhole. Funny, charming, nuanced, she brings out the best in the writing."
Stacie Passon, award-winning writer/director of "Concussion"
"Claudine brought my work to life with her masterful skills as a voice actor and storyteller. Her astute characterizations demonstrated her stunning range, but she had a deft touch: honoring the voice of the work as a whole while illuminating every human and visual detail. I'm writing the next one faster because I can't wait to hear her read it."
