Voice Description

Friendly, comedic, clear. I have over 15 years experience casting, producing, and performing thousands of characters on the top nationally syndicated radio shows in the country. I specialize in original comedic characters from MC Sampler the Mock Rapper (as seen on MTV) to Blarney the Dinosaur (as seen on the Jerry Springer Show). I am proficient in French and Armenian and have studied improvisational acting with the Second City Training Center in Chicago, the Annoyance Theatre in Chicago, and the Improv Olympic in Los Angeles. Some of my comedic acting can be seen at http://www.electriceelman.com Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile.
