Voice Description

Have a "region-free" American delivery, but am also proficient in many North American and European dialects. Celebrity impressions include Sean Connery, Rodney Dangerfield, Peter Lorre, and others. Versatile enough to have a natural, low, "booming" voice for trailers, imaging & promos -- while at the same time having an authoritative but non-aggressive delivery for narration -- being able to sound like a "regular guy" for commercials -- and also providing a (so far) unlimited compendium of voice styles for animation.
