Voice Description

I pride myself on my diction. I have a deep baritone/bass voice that would probably be useful as a villain's voice or as someone authoritative. It also has a well-earned professional quality that would be an excellent choice for presentations.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Russian comes easy to me, as does German. I'm a good mimic and had friends from Syria and India whom I belive I mimic well.

In high school (1967), we performed "Oklahoma" and I was Ali Hakim the Persian peddler. I hated the accent I was forced to use by the director, but many years later when I finally saw the movie "Oklahoma", my accent was much the same (if not better) than Eddie Albert's!

My Voice Experience

My only voice over experience was as a volunteer reader of "The Washington Post" for the Metropolitan Washington Ear. I would read the Sunday paper into their computer system for those who were vision-impaired. Unfortunately, my airline schedule became "on-call", and I was not able to provide them with scheduling certainty that they needed and had to quit after several years.

Professional voice over is new to me, however, I have used my voice talents from high school (debate/theater) through college (theater) through the military (presentations/conferences/command) and as an airline pilot (although I am no longer in that profession).

My Training

No training specifically in voice-over, however as a pilot, most of my professional life has been speaking and being understood through a microphone.

My Studio Equipment

None.

Additional Skills

At one time, I spoke Russian well. I can still read Russian and am told that I speak it "bez aksenta" (without accent).

I have listened to more voiced over training material in my carreer than any sane person should have to, whether it be in managment, aviation, weaponry, or leadership. I know what works in a professional setting, and what does not.
