Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I can mimic any foreign accent. I can speak a lot of Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, French, and some Arabic. I don't speak them natively, but can sound just like a native. I can impersonate just about any male teen - male adult voice. My favorites include Homer Simpson, Hank Hill (from "King of the Hill"), Monty Burns ("Simpsons"), Shaggy (Scooby Doo's pal).

My Voice Experience

I have been delighting my friends and family with my impersations of celebrities and everyday people for years. I started my illustrious career at the age of 4 when I impersonated an old man in a supermarket. My mom laughed so hard milk came out her nose...okay, the part about milk coming out is made up, but she laughed alright!
Once, I did a performance for a Church July 4th celebration where I impersonated John F. Kennedy and delivered a speech. Very recently I recorded a robot voice for a character in my friends' stop-motion film. I do impersonations and voices every day to entertain my friends and coworkers. I'm just beginning my voice career and I'm so excited.
