Voice Description
I specialize in cartoon/animation voices of all kinds, especially in strong dramatic and comic characters that require solid acting.
I create a voice that is appropriate to the script. This covers a wide range: hapless dad, menacing villain, buffoonish side-kick, eccentric professor, etc. Voice characterizations can be warm and friendly, mean and threatening, scheming and paranoid - sometimes all within the same performance! It all depends on the script/copy.
My voice is a mid-range baritone that's most effective playing characters between 25 and 75.
