Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I'm a former midwesterner, living in the deep south for the past three decades. I can be sophisticated or I can be Bubba, with equal enthusiasm. I speak ebonics fluently, as well as british, scottish east indian and oriental accents.

My Voice Experience

For the past year I've been producing training videos for my current employer, and trying to learn as much as possible about voice over techniques. I incorporate both still photos and video in these presentations, and create and apply an audio narration. Our work environment is so noisy that voice overs are the only practical method of providing useful instruction.

My Training

Graduated Magna Cum Laude

Operated a radio show aboard the aircraft carrier USS Midway, when the records were spun, and the timing and lead-ins had to be right.
