Voice Description

I have a natural, clear and resonant speaking voice to suit many types of narration that can deepen into warm, sensual, tones or become sophisticated, dark, poetic and even emotional if required.
For the more corporate applications I can sound professional and assertive but can affect welcoming, classic or neutral timbres for announcements and answering services. I can be upbeat and fun for commercials or by turn lucid and informative in a public information/infomercial way. I also have some impersonations in my repertoire and can replicate many regional and international accents in a variety of ages for animation or video-games; bringing a host of lively, comic, offbeat characters into play. I follow a number of sports and am quite familiar with the lexicon and delivery of TV and radio commentators. I offer cool, hip sexy and modern for MTV-type projects too and computer/website jargon rolls easily off the tongue.
