My Voice Experience

I admit it... I'm in love with the sound of my own voice. That's a good thing, right?

I have worked for years to develop vocal abilities for both speaking and singing, and I feel that the following are my best uses:
1. Normal guy/everyman acting roles
2. Cartoonish/comedic voices & impersonations
3. Business and technical presentations
4. Music vocals, lead or background

My professional voice over experience has thus far consisted of recording real estate audio files for my own personal website.
My unprofessional voice experience is much wider. In school I narrated a number of class video and audio projects, and of course, majoring in Studio recording and owning a hobby studio has given me plenty of experience behind the mixing board and behind the microphone.

Shure KSM27 condenser mic for my voice; also use Shure SM57.
Monster cables... they are stupidly expensive.
