Voice Description

My natural voice is of a deep timbre with a very warm and seductive feel. I can reach into the gravel of my voice very naturally. I'm a recording artist and thus I have a lot of experience with knowing the flexibility of my pitch and energy. I can do cool and seductive; warm and inviting as mentioned; energetic and fun-filled; collected and professional; soft and emotional; angst-ridden; action-packed and gravelly; nervous and incredibly nerdy. The list goes on!

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I can impersonate several versions of a Chinese accent; whether or not you want an old kung fu master, a hilarious stereotypically parodied voice, or even just a subtle hint of Chinese.

I can also impersonate 'Deckard Cain' from Diablo which is a mix of aged, English, and Scottish accent altogether. Consequentially, I can also do a strong Sean Connery impersonation.

I'm well-versed in adopting a subtle British accent or even a harsher Cockneyed accent as well.

I can do an Apu-imitation version of an Indian Accent of which the inspiration is drawn from the Simpsons. I can do several pitches of a deep Russian accent which leads to being able to also do Transylvanian. I can perform a very FOB-style accent of speaking English as a Vietnamese male.

I can also adopt a slight Irish accent as well in my speech, nothing extremely Leprechaunish but beliveable nonetheless.

I can do gravelly voices for harder-military speech and change the pitch of my voice very flexibly.

My Voice Experience

My main experience of vocal work consists of doing improv standup at my university in several performances. However, much of my experience stems from recording as a rap artist for over 6 years.

My Studio Equipment

I use a Altec Lansing Headset AHS502i and use (Cool Edit) Adobe Audition for audio-editing. I'm purchasing a Blue Snowball from Guitar Center shortly, so that I can have crisper studio-quality recording capabilities with the easy accessibility of USB. I have a mic stand supported by a pop filter, and being a rap artist I'm very well-versed in audio editing and achieving the best mic ranges for my voice.

Additional Skills

I'm an accomplished writer and lyricist with excellent grasp of grammar and verbal structure. I know how to elongate and make things wordy, or make them concise and sharp to the point. I can offer feedback on the lines or scripts you may throw my way to perhaps enhance the context or emotion that the lines are to be delivered with.
