Voice Description

If you're looking for that nice guy across the yard, give me a try. I can sound warm & friendly for light reads, serious & concerned for heavier copy. (Technical copy & medical jargon are specialties.) On the flip side, I've been the voice of several car dealerships so high energy / hard sell auditions are always welcome. In addition, I do character voices, dialects & vocal impressions.
