Voice Description

I am a voiceover person with a bass-baritone voice and am capable of reading copy in both contemporary conversational style as well as the style of classic announcers. My forte is serious as well as humorous material and my sound ranges from warm and friendly to authoritative. I am also very flexible and do a variety of accents and character voices. I can sound exactly like the voice in the Lexus commercials.

I am proficient in several foreign languages. I can speak and read French, Italian and German without an accent. I can also read copy in a wide range of accents, including Russian, German, French, Italian and Indian. This month I recorded French and German demos for Voxonic, an interpretation software company.

For the last few years I have been recording talking books, often with multilingual and technical vocabulary and character voices.
