Voice Description

I've been told my voice is very easy to listen to and sounds professional. I can do slow warm deep narations, or fun and exciting advertisements, I am currently an MC for a local DJ service which allows me to go from making simple announcements to acting wild and goofy. I have done character voices for local Ice shows, and productions for the past 12 years. I can pretty much make my voice do whatever you need.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I'm willing to attempt any accent or dialect, I have not done many as of yet, but my two strongest are british, and new york.

My Voice Experience

I have done voice overs for Northbrook On Ice where I had to play two characters that talked to each other through an entire scene, and nobody could tell that both characters were me. I've played the voice of the Tin man from wizard of Oz for a show in Buffalo Grove, I've been a narrator for a couple of local buisness promo videos, I've recorded the voice of an announcer on a cruise ship for a children's play in Northbrook, when I was much younger (in my early teens) I helped with a commercial demo and was one of the voices on that.

My Training

I will be completely honest here, I have no professional training in this field, but I have been doing it since I was a child and everyone that hears my voice overs says that I should do this professionally, so I figured I will try it out and see what happens.

My Studio Equipment

I'm currently in the process of setting up my own studio, as of right now I use a program on my PC called Cool Edit Pro 2.1 with a sure SM58 mic on a stand with a pop filter attached that runs into my Mackie mixing console then into my PC. In Cool Edit, which is a multitrack mixing program, I am able to equalize my levels, add special effects to my voice, raise or lower the pitch accordingly, speed up or slow down the tempo, etc.

Additional Skills

I am currently a director for a children's theater company, and an owner of a mobile family entertainment service. As I mentioned before my main job is to MC at events, so I have no problem with being in front of a crowd. I also have been dancing since I was 5, and was a competitive figure skater since I was 3. I won two gold medals in the Intermidiate and novice divisions at the midwestern sectionals competition. I'm able to speak on a mic with no problems both while dancing and on the ice. I also can do a little bit of juggling but that really doesn't have anything to do with speaking. The only other thing that I can think of that I do is custom set design and construction for theatrical performances.
