Voice Description

Think Professor Frink, from ‘The Simpsons’, mixed with Jimmy Stewart...

I have a wide variety of voices, from soft and smooth to over-the-top. Whereas I specialize in light, fun and humorous material, I also have significant experience with a wide variety of corporate and webinar style projects that require a medium level and tone with enough character to keep the listener awake, but not so much as to intrude on the messaging.
