Many "universally recognizable characterizations" (the politically correct version of saying many stereotypes)from gangsters to henchmen to minions and GI's for animation and games. Southern diplomats to British know-it-alls to geek/scientists.

I did radio commercials on a daily basis when I was afternoon drive guy for a country station in Alberta. I also wrote, edited, recorded and produced radio bits on a daily basis. IGA, Co-Op, Hunting Equipment Stores, Car Dealerships, Public Service Announcements, Sustainable Resource commercials, whatever needed to be done. Also did many live on location spots. Radio Broadcasting at Loyalist College. Classical Animation at Sheridan College. Marketing and Advertising at Sheridan College. Musician/Songwriter - performed in various bands for years.

Worked in Korea and China as supervisor and Unit Director. I have been a musician and performer since 1972; lead and back-up vocals, trumpet, tenor sax, guitar and keyboards in various bands from rock and roll ("Avalanche") to Dance ("The Group Called Brown") to big-band ("Murphy's Big Band") to Polka and German Waltzes ("Swing Masters"). Even did a couple Santa Claus parades along the way. I've MC'd live shows from country music jamborees to Davis Award ceremonies. They say an animator is just an actor who isn't on-screen... hmmm, sounds like voice-acting has that in common.
