Etienne Melancon

As I said before, I do not have official experience in this business but I have been imitating all kinds of voices and accents for fun all my life. My main accents I use everyday are ; English - Standard American, French - Quebecer, Spanish - Mexican and French - France. As for impersonations, anyone I try to copy I achieve with great results, those I've tried in the past off the top of my head are ; Sean Connery, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Cartman, Kenny Rogers (Will Sasso), Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), Eddie Murphy, etc...

I have been working as a musician and singer for the past 15 years, recording almost everyday in my own studio, producing radio quality recordings. Although I am new in the voice-over business I have a lot of experience with my voice and my recording equipment. If you like to hear one of my album, you can listen to it here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM7XKM38UAo&hd=1 I have studied jazz music in St-Laurent College in Montreal. I haven't relied on many people for training in my life, I noticed very early on that I could teach myself, much faster, anything along with the internet and that way it made my approach much more unique. Essentially, I consider the past 15 years as constant studying and experimenting. I have a complete studio since I've always recorded my albums and other artists from my home studio. I currently work with Cubase, a Motu Traveler sound card, a Neumann TLM 103 microphone and a Shure SM7B microphone. My mixes are all mastered so that no peaking ever occurs. I use many different technics to give the stereo image a wider mix and a fuller sound with nice low basses, clean highs and responsive mids. I am currently a musician, singer, mixer, producer, cameraman, editor, director, programmer, website designer, graphic artist, animator...I am self taught in everything I do, I am a perfectionist and have the will to learn to the best of my abilities. I am humble and not complicated to work with. I have been working around people long enough to know how to interact and make sure everyone is pleased with my work in whatever field it may be. I am open minded and believe the client is always right (don't worry I'll give you my input but the final choice is yours ;) I strive for my work to be flawless, timeless, painless and punctual. Hope to have the pleasure to work with you! Best Regards.
