Voice Description

I have a warm, smooth-sounding voice in general. But I can be serious and professional for narrations, be your best friend or the mom next door, more fun and sexy for commercials. My own voice has no discernible regional accent, but I can speak with an American Southern or "New York", Russian, Spanish, or British accent. Am an actress and a singer as well. People always tell me, "you have a great voice--do you work in radio?"!
