Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am a West Indian born naturalized American and can easily navigate through the varied accents from all of the islands throughout the Caribbean Region.

In addition I am equally at ease with British, American, African, Middle Eastern and ethnic Asian accents.

My Voice Experience

I started my career on the Caribbean Island of Grenada in 1979 where I was a newscaster who anchored the daily major newscast every evening at 7:00 pm.

After I moved to the US in 1982 I was forced to seek employment outside of my field because of assimilation issues. However I have and still continue to be complimented on my voice.

I have worked as an advertising sales consultant for The Wall Street Journal for over 18 years and have used the telephone extensively in my work. During this time people have repeatedly complimented me on my voice and have encouraged me to use my talent in the field of commercials. I have also presented to large groups and I am comfortable speaking to the public either in person or via electronic means.

Outside of the telephone, I have also had extensive experience in the field of public speaking and or reading to large groups at weddings or at churches where I've read to large audiences.

I have also recently been involved in recording and delivering sports reports to an internet driven broadcast company in Florida for distribution in the Caribbean region.

My Training

I am a graduate of Lesley University, Cambridge Ma. I've completed numerous on the job training and professional sales programs. Recently I completed John Burr's voice Over training program and I am ready to venture out into the world of Voice Overs.

My first foray into broadcasting started in 1979 where I was recruited out of high school and trained as a local newscaster and even to this day, whenever I return to Grenada I get invited to deliver the evening newscast on radio and Television.

I believe my audio appeal is complimented equally by my good looks. I am a handsome man with a sexy voice and excellent command of the English Language whose vocal talents can compliment any situation that requires the use of the spoken word to penetrate, captivate, retain and generate positive response from diverse audiences across varied or select mechanisms.

My Studio Equipment

I do not have my own studio but have ready access to studio recording facilities. I am in the process of acquiring my own recording equipment.
