Voice Description

In terms of voice-over work, I have absolutely perfect professional diction and pronunciation, with clear and well-defined syllables, regardless of the words I am reading or whether or not I have had the opportunity to memorize them. I am also able to read ahead quickly enough to be emotive while working directly from a script, which I am proud of.

As to the voices I can do, there are many. I have an excellent British accent (both refined and coarse), and can impersonate characters from Andy Sirkis' Gollum to Meatwad of Aquateen Hunger Force to the lead singer of Creed. I also have good character accents in Russian, Scottish, Irish, and Indian/Pakistani. Also, due to my background, I have several Appalachian/Southern accents that are quite excellent.

My Voice Experience

Growing up in the South, my parents always tried to make very certain that I would not sound like it. As a result, I have what can only be described as a perfect baseline American English accent. This, combined with an innate talent for stretching the bounds of my voice, has allowed me room to grow into what I consider to be an excellent vocal actor.

My Training

I had vocal training as a singer and school chorus member from Junior High to College. In High School, I was all-state three years in a row, and in College I was a Madrigal singer for two years.

I also acted from Junior High through College, learning whatever I could about speaking wherever I could. One of the best pieces of advice I was ever given was to make my syllables work for me and to pay attention to the structure of every word I read and spoke.

Additional Skills

The difference between good diction and bad diction, I was told, was the differene between calling someone a "big goof" versus a "bigoof". I understand this, and am able to approach every project with the same understanding.

I will not just simply attempt to do an accent or voice I am unfamiliar with. I will study the structure and pronunciation of the language or situation at length until I am certain that I understand it fundamentally. This makes me more flexible and a better actor.
