Voice Description
Expression and timing come quite naturally, having developed a live entertainers voice over the last 25 years by being a professional disc jockey and live performance announcer. In these capacities, you must set the mood of the moment with your voice, and that could be anything. Happy and up-beat, dark and myterious, bawdy or brash, quiet and smokey, whatever is needed.
My language is English, but I can adopt a regional accent when required.
