Additional Skills

I am a fast worker. I also do not want to disappoint anyone. I will redo it until it is right, until the client is satisfied. I am good at understanding descriptions and comparisons. Good communicator with clients.

Voice is versatile.

I started changing my voice as a telemarketer 15 years ago. Seeing, as a male, what could make people buy anything from me on the phone. That taught me the different dimensions of my voice and what they mean and how they could be changed.

I also was a singer for years, first a punk rock singer, then a folky type of singer.

Then I got into rap music. Don't worry it is not what you may think.

My rap music attempts to go well beyond a normal street voice. It is actually through making experimental rap music songs that I learned to make voices reminiscent of Warf, Megatron, the Emperor, Movie trailer Announcers, etc..

Throughout my last 15 years of making music, rapping, and selling things by phone I came to see that my voice could change quite dramatically to suit what is needed.
