Voice Description

My voice is very rich and resonant with some deep tones. It can be authoritative, as well as warm and sensitive. Announcer and Narration material fits my qualities perfectly. I can sound sexy, masculine, and dangerous. I can also provide soft, sympathetic and compassionate qualities.
In addition I can produce character voices easily and naturally, and my dialect skills are exceptional.
