Voice Description

I am a radio guy in N.O. with 29 years on air. I have done thousands of spots for radio and tv. I can do laid back, sexy, or smooth voice overs, narrations, jewelry, restaurants, etc, or high energy, hard sell spots, like car dealerships. I am most confident in my voice. Give me a chance to help your client. I'll also like to do character voices, such as cartoons, etc. I can do a hard read or just a normal, guy next door voice. I suppose I can do a southern voice since I'm from the New Orleans area, although I did lose my accent for radio.
