Voice Description

Derrick’s natural voice is a deep, rich bass, perfect for voice over work that needs a calming voice. Years of public speaking has given him an outstanding ability to phrase his voice over work in a unique way. This is due to an acquired ability to control his breathing. Derrick’s natural accent ranges between northern and southern connotations. Yet as a talented voice over actor, Derrick can easily alter his voice to do many accents such as Caribbean, Hispanic, African, Russian, Chicano, High English, Cockney English, North American (Eastern), Southern Gentlman, Texas Rancher, Irish and more. The real key to doing "accents" however, is becoming the character. Derrick’s voice evokes warmth, depth, a sense of smoothness, caring, soothing, professional, cool, comedic, funny, authoritative, narrator, engaging, educated, soft, natural, gruff, manly, macho, casual, natural, non-announcer, announcer, spokesman, spokesperson, ethereal, real person, sensitive, simple, intelligent, hero, leading man, great, reliable and urban.
