Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Standard American/Canadian accent. I can imitate russian, israeli, italian, and spanish accents. When I was in high school I used to call the office pretending to be my girlfreinds dad (no-nonsense talking Ukrainian) and get her out of the school for the day.
In short my characterizations include most discernable human emotions and can be applied to any situation (having a script helps).

My Voice Experience

I've done NO voice overs in the past. I've done mock radio broadcasts which are no longer available and I have done stage acting. Most of my work in stage performances was as narrator. My voice is very strong, carries well, and is hard not to listen to. I also did acting. I was the scarecrow in a version of the 'wizard of oz' so I sounded a little goofy and foolish, I was also in a version of 'joseph and the amazing technocolor dreamcoat' where all of the 'brothers' were actually 'brothaz' if you catch my drift. I was one of them. Not too many lines and I'm pretty sure the whole thing came off as racist. But I digress...
So yeah, no direct voice over jobs in the past but I have plenty of practice speaking. Trust me :)

My Training

I graduated high school in 2002 I think. I took mainly sciences but also took communication technology classes which basically involved us doing stop-motion animation, and short films with audio. So there was that. Then I went to the University of Guelph to study Marine Biology, had a semester in a pretty bogen area of Australia, and then graduated (with honours thank you very much) a little over a year ago. Somehow I don't think these were the answers you were looking for.

Additional Skills

I am incredibly easy to work with. I've never had problems gettting along with employers or co-workers, even ones I wasn't terribly fond of. I can also take instruction well and am good at understanding what people want which comes in handy if they are having trouble communicating it.
