Voice Description

I've been told I have a very deep and sexy voice. Most people have related me to James Earl Jones, Darth Vader (Who also was played by James Earl Jones), and Barry White.

Day to day conversations with others have also told me that I have a very nice radio voice. It has been described as deep, sexy, and soothing. Apparently friends have fallen asleep to my voice because its so relaxing.

I've had several professional voice over training sessions and continue to constantly streamline my voice through constant training.

I have been also experimenting with doing high pitch baby voices. Similar to Howie Mandels "Bobby" voice over.
