Voice Description

I am capable of numerous "senior personality" voice characterizations such as Walter Brennen and Gabby Hayes. I can also project a fast, powerful, stereotypical "radio voice". My narrations are usually airy and smooth eminating from an upper baritone. I am well versed at immitating Afro-American vocal inflections as well as varied Anglo accents. I immitate several US regional accents from deep South to Eastern seaboard. I can read Spanish fairly fluently with rehearsal.

My Training

The vast majority of my training has been "hands-on" although I did have four years of vocal training with my church choir when I was younger. I spent quite a bit of time in the company of my cousins (I come from a performing family) learning musical instruments and some of the finer points of singing with a member of the "Sky King" rock group which featured Chris and Darrius Brubeck. I also have had the opportunity to learn many recording techniques while involved in studio projects.

Smith). I have been involved in this business for over 40 years and have a very broad base of experience.
