Voice Description

Smoky trained actor's voice with great versatility. Lyric baritone with several accents. I am excellent with dramatic and hard-hitting narration and text. I can perform and read text with perfect Queen's English (British) as well as several English variants like Cockney (East End/London)and South African (Afrikaans). My classical acting training has given me the ability to do a lot of different character voices and also cartoon character voices. Commercials for TV and radio, books-on-tape, movie trailers, TV promos, documentary narration, are just some of my specialties. I am a medical doctor and so doing medical/pharmaceutical/scientific narration and voice over work is certainly a top skill! I speak French with French Canadian accent and can do this kind of voice-over with skill. I am a member of Canadian ACTRA for 25 years with a huge wealth of experience in all aspects of performing and acting and broadcasting. I am also a SAG-AFTRA member in good standing.
