Voice Description

My voiceovers can be rappy, can be snappy, can be cool, fun and happy. Can be cold, can be BOLD, or warm, kind, and old. My Voice-overs can be smooth or nazley, or can be hippy, bright and pazely. Can be serious or very comical or can be scientific and astronomical. My Voice talents include effortlessly accenting a british spy or even an aussie from down under on the fly. As a voice over talent, I can sing like a canary or airy like Steve Perry or old school Adam ant or nazley like Robert Plant. My voice is a tool I've learned to use well and some say I talk too much as you can tell. But Seriously, if you're looking for someone that can do just about anything with their voice and listens intently to direction, then I'm your man...
I have literally hundreds of vocal recordings of which all sound almost completely different from eachother. When people hear them they cannot place my voice from one recording to the next. When I compose vocals or voice-overs for any given piece I hear unique vocal qualities, not just melodies and lyrics. Pronunciation, vocal timbre and resonance, and tone are all part of the process.
