Voice Description

Most North American dialects; many British regionals and European accents.

I speak some Hungarian in an authentic, native accent; I can read any prepared copy in Hungarian fluently and with native accent, and I am currently in guided study, working towards conversational fluency with full translation capabilities. As a child, Hungarian was my first language.
