Voice Description

As a long-experienced voice actor with excellent training from North Carolina School of the Arts, I speak exceptionally clearly and temper my voice to your project. As part of a morning radio "zoo" I provided differentiated character voices for 6 - 10 daily "regulars". I was the "voice" of Las Vegas' Desert Inn and currently the Voice of the Yamaha Disklavier. Warm and deep, sexy and fun, smooth and professional -- you name it, I do it.
