Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects
British, French, Scottish and most UK dialects. I also do non-caucasian voices - Jamaican and Afro-American NY Harlem street guy. These accents form bases for variation such as overweight male, aristocrat, thin, weasley and exaggerated characters - to explain, if I have been employed to do two,say, Scottish charaters in one scenario - one would be fat, one would be thin and devious, one might be'whacko' and out there. Generally, my voice has been employed for warmth.
