Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

A few of the many...

Gerald the Geek - A man who's truly full of himself and the knowledge he's absorbed over his lifetime. While lacking social talents he is handy with information that everybody wants, so he thinks. Still living with mom and dad, Gerald finds solitude in a number of online games, his Internet pals, and his virtual pet goldfish, Einstein. His voice is unmistakably geeky, complete with nasal attitude and Red Bull induced exuberance.

Hillbilly Hank - Growing up in the back hills where banjo music plays, Hank has developed social skills to get him out of most situations. This lovable man is 5 cans short of a six-pack and his demeanor is absolutely lovable. You'll recognize him instantly with his slow-talking, musical, backwoods tonality.

Sergeant Cranky Pants - This man is all attitude. Cranky. Guff. Short. Temperamental. He spent his entire life in the military and he didn't let anything slide. The guy was one march away from a coronary explosion. With a raw, gravelly voice that only a mother cold love, you'll think the Sergeant gargled crushed rocks daily.

Dr. Tug N. Toss - Yes he's a doctor. A man with a dark side, he delights in the terrorizing of others. A split personality has Dr. Toss perky with a delightful beside manner and devilishly mischievous when he's wielding a scalpel. Tug will find a reason to rid you of your redundant organs. You only need one of every thing, right? The Doc sounds slippery smooth with a hint of crazy at the edge.

Elmer Fudd - You know him. You love him. He's unmistakably Fuddy.
