I can do "Jersey", U.S. Southern, American Urban, and a generic African dialect for comedy.

I have been a radio news anchor for more than 25 years. I have worked in mainstream radio, country, news/talk, and urban formats. During my years in the business, I done commercial work for almost every station. I have also used my voice for public service announcments, voice mail messeges, and narration. While I can deliver upbeat and light-hearted copy, my forte tends to be on the other end of the register. My style has been called "fierce". My two dream jobs would be the one done by Bill Curtis on "American Greed" and as the narrator of the HBO show "Autopsy". I LOVE the subject matter of both programs and believe my vocal style reflects the serious nature of each.
