Voice Description

"Warm, rich, and sultry" or "Warm, bright and friendly" either description fits my Urban and Mainstream delivery. Sexy could also apply with right attitude and script. I have a light voice in a low register for a female, but I can add a little rasp for more sex appeal.

Work that works for me:
. Luxury Brands, with or without accent.
. Professional, friendly reads including commercials, presentation, and voice mails
. voice acting including characters, narrations, and dramatic reads

In addtion to Generic Mainstream reads, I can provide more than 10 different types of Urban voices: Professional, Professional- Friendly, Southern, Young Adult, Sexy, Ghetto Mid-west, Ghetto East Coast, Pre-teen, Everyday Woman/ Testimonial, Black Comedian, Black Poet.

I also sing, rap, and do poetry.
