Voice Description

Robin Williams sounding voice with a wide range to incorporate many others. Can do animation type voices of caharacters and sounds. Able to do silly, child-like voice-overs perfect for cartoons or animated works. Have done serious documentary style narrations for PowerPoint presentations, exams and quizzes, in both English and Spanish. I've spoken Spanish since the age of 5 and have taught it at the middle and high school levels. Spanish can range fron Castillian to South American and everything in between, including Caribbean dialects and societal and regional Spanish styles. Love to do Disney style songs from animated pictures. Able to do senior voices in both gender roles, conjuring memories of a favorite grandparent (or the mean one!)

Love doing Robin Williams voices, especially when he gets silly, ei., Aladdin, Good Morning Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire, Mork and Mindy, etc. Not limited to human sounding characters. Scooby -Doo is also a fun one to imitate.

My Voice Experience

Voice. This is what keeps a child's attention in a classroom. As a teacher, if you have a monotone voice, expect to lose your audience in the first minute of class!

Having taught for 6 years, I've developed different jingles, voices, screams, screeches, d-i-n-g-s!, bell sounds, PA announcement voices, actor voices from Robin Williams to Jackie Gleason, singer voices from Dean Martin and Bobby Darin to Garth Brooks and George Strait. My students never lost interest in my classes, and a result of being wild, crazy and zany, scored very well on quizzes, exams, and overall grades.

I tried to always stay on top of current events and mimic the sounds that were fresh to their ears, albeit a voice, bell, buzzer, etc.

My Training

I have no "professional" training but I have trained while I was a professional.

For six summers I was a summer camp director. For six years I've been a teacher. Having this much interaction with kids makes one a little cuckoo sometimes, but it also forces one to adapt and cater to making one's class or game or activity as fun and creative as possible. Other than the usual decorations and preparations, voices always have provided a spontaneous jolt of energy and life into these classes or activities. My students have always commented on how they love the voices and sounds they hear everytime they're in class!

Additional Skills

I do everything I can to make a setting "feel right." Seemingly serious in demeanor when people first meet me, my friends know I am not as serious as I may appear to be.

A very loyal individual with an untiring spirit who strives to always to his best, I would like to explore the voice-over industry and see if I can add to it what I've added to teaching; a good time, a bit of learning, and food for thought.
