Yvonne Renee Davis

Yvonne Davis is an award winning journalist, TEDxHartford speaker, and on camera talent trained in commercial, voiceover, product, and scene work. An original founding team member of WTIC FOX61 News, she has spent nearly three decades in front of the camera and behind the microphone. She is a radio and television broadcaster, a foreign policy news analyst, and a writer with scriptwriting experience. Her range runs from polished to grounded. She carries elegance and command for beauty, fashion, and luxury campaigns, and the credibility of a working journalist for spokesperson, corporate, and pharmaceutical copy. In scene work she plays women of consequence: correspondents and anchors, executives, diplomats, judges, and matriarchs, and she is equally at home in the intimate register, the mature wife, the mature fiancée, the mentor, the woman you tell the truth to. Newsroom and journalism scenes are native ground, lead or supporting. She moves comfortably across cultures, with working experience throughout the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, Canada, and the United States, and she brings precise articulation to every read. As a leadership communications trainer she has worked in conflict and post conflict environments including Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo, and in Tunisia before and after the revolution. As a public diplomacy strategist for the U.S. Department of State she has held rooms in 68 countries across three Presidential Administrations, and she served as a Presidential Appointee under President George W. Bush at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She is a guest professor and lecturer, and she has studied French, Italian, and Arabic. She has received training in commercial technique, voiceover, product and spokesperson work, and scene study. Special skills include oratory and public speaking, precise articulation, live television, hosting and interviewing, teleprompter, improvisation with copy, scriptwriting, foreign policy analysis, and cultural fluency across the Middle East, North Africa, West Africa, Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada. Based in Connecticut. Available for commercial, beauty, fashion, spokesperson, voiceover, narration, industrial, and scene work, supporting and lead.
