British, Australian, German, Italian, Oriental, South African, among others.

I started doing accents when I was a very young child when I first saw the movie 'Crocodile Dundee.' I started speaking like Paul Hogan's character 'Crocodile Mick Dundee' & a lot of my friends & relatives said that I was really good at it. Then a couple years later my aunt met & married a man from England, & I started to speak wioth a British accent. Again, my family told me that I was really good and could pass as someone who is from England. It even got to the point that I spoke that way that a lot of them, like, many of my second cousins, my great aunts & great uncles, & even my grandma & my mom, told me to stop it because I was annoying them with all the 'British Poppycock!' I have never held a job doing voice overs but have always been wanting to get into that line of work, whether it be voice overs for a commercial, a voice over for a TV show or movie, or doing the voice of a cartoon character - which is what I have wanted to do since I was 5 years old! I do not really have any education in doing voice overs, just personal experience. However I am always open to any learning experience I can get. None. Again, just personal experience of doing different voices & accents "for" friends & family.
