Voice Description

I have a warm, fairly deep voice, clear and casual delivery, and sound like I'm in my 20s. I can pull out the sarcasm and dry humor when you need it. I'm a professional actor, so I can do interesting character voices as well. I grew up listening to audiobooks, narration comes naturally to me. It's a deep voice, yet one you could relate to. Guy next door type.
