Brent Miedema

Impersonations: Don LaFontaine, Howard Cosell, Arnold Schwarzenneger, Cleveland (cartoon character), Simpsons mad scientist Jonathan Frink, I can duplicate any American English accent I hear. Characterizations: random muppet-like voices, non gender specific cartoon baby, fabulously gay homosexual male, American mafioso/gangster (over-the-top new york italian mafia don, aging gravelly-voiced goon). Dialects: English as spoken by most western European accents (Irish, Scottish, British, German, also Jamaican, Eastern Indian, Russian). With enough practice, I can speak almost any language I hear, but I have trouble with Chinese and its dialects.

I am a guitarist/songwriter, and often sung to accompany myself, which help me develop my ability to project. I have worked customer service for over a decade. In all those years of speaking with customers, my sarcastic and snarky wit came across as the stereotypical game show host or radio personality. I have a minor in music from IUPUI. I am a musician of 33 years, having performed in front of audiences all over Indiana. I have a project studio, running Pro Tools 9 on my pc, I have an M-Audio Profire FireWire interface. I also have access to multiple professional studios in the Indianapolis area, all of which grant me full access to full time audio engineers. I speak Spanish, German, a tiny bit of Japanese, and can speak almost any language I hear.
