Voice Description

Warm, deep, trained bass-baritone singing voice with great resonance. Extensive narration experience. Smooth and professional with extended dynamic range to deliver the right message in the right way.

I love creating stories with multiple character voices and read and create stories with primary grade school children (toughest audience you can imagine!)

My vocal range covers silly to inspirational, crazy to profound, slow and reverant to quick and nervous.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

North American, yankee by nature, easily shift into Southern US with enough drawl to make you want to tip your hat back, Appalachian easiness, Irish for storytelling and characterization, English for just the right amount of sophistication or slightly aristocratic tone.

French for that "je ne sais quoi?" from the serious, sexy, and romantic to silly and absurd.
