Voice Description

I guess I could say that my voice can adapt to certain situations; if I need to be professional over the phone, I have a booming voice for that, in selling a product, use for an enthusiastic tone is possible also.

As for different languages, I can do the Jamaican Patois, a Filipino accent because Tagalog is the language spoken at home, Irish, and East Indian, and newly aquired Russian although those are not native languages of mine.

My Voice Experience

On a trip to Disneyland as a youth, my parents purchased the "Treasure Island" album for me to enjoy the songs and skits. Who would think that listening to the record numerous times, and hearing the English accents would benefit me somehow. The learning of the accents of this record helped land me a part in my elementary school's adaptation of "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang". I did the audition for kicks just to see what kind of reaction I'd get from the other teachers and parents who were there. To their surprise a 4th grader with an English accent to boot, and I got the part, hands down.

My Training

In high school, I had taken a speech class to develop good habits when speaking to a crowd for a timed speech. In college I took a basic 'acting' class which required of us to perform monologues involving characters with different accents and personalities.

Although, for several years, I used to rap/freestyle with a bunch of friends or whenever there were venues with an open mic for freestyling. I also emceed at clubs that my friends who DJ's were playing at.

Additional Skills

I am willing to try animated characters, ever since watching cartoons as a young child.

During the week, and some weekends, I emcee in clubs for my friends who are DJ's at certain venues. One particular venue plays strictly reggae/dancehall music, and there are few people that my friends know who have a Jamaican patois accent, to accompany the music.
