Voice Description
My natural accent is quite dark with natural glottals but usually when narrating it is rounder and more articulate. Since singing lessons, my voice has become naturally higher so I can alternate between young and older voices. My voice is friendly and characterful, and best suited to a storytelling format such as audiobooks.
