Voice Description

My natural voice is warm and deep--close to that of Bing Crosby, but it can turn into a Walter Cronkite or Robert Stack voice on command. Since I am a professional celebrity impersonator that can do over 130 celebrity voices, plus all accents and various character voices (including kids, women, and men), as well as some singing impersonations, I think I'm a one man show for voice over work with a cast of hundreds.
