Voice Description

My malleable bass voice can add thunder or whisper to your project. I can project warmth and depth for narrations, sexy and fun for commericals, and smooth and professional for presentations. Having been told since young adulthood that I possessed a true "radio voice," I've decided to put what little formal training I've had to the test. At the age of seven, I walked into my mother's kitchen and tried doing John Wayne; she told me it was a perfect impression of Rich Little doing John Wayne. Need serious? Goofy? Put me to the test.

Additional Skills

The best skill I have is that I'm willing to learn. I am presently working to understand the technical requirements of delivering crisp, high-quality audio projects to clients. I have the ability to start at the bottom and work my way up. Thank you for your time.
