Voice Description

I have a very expressive voice. People say they can feel the emotion. I have been an adult storyteller for years. I can handle Shakespeare and biblical readings or ghetto and Southern readings. I imitate voices fairly well. I do documentary voice overs and cartoons. I am African American and many times you can hear that imbre in my voice. I am interested in a variety of voice over work.
