Voice Description

That somewhat aggressive younger male voice that is very popular in radio imaging campaigns. I put a slight edge on it, with very clear diction and pacing. I've been told it's more about what I do with my voice (phrasing, breath, and control) than the voice itself that makes it stand out.
