Voice Description

I have a tenor quality voice that is warm, witty, wanton if
called for. I can be smooth and professional or wacky and
wonderful. I think I probably have a decent tv radio voice. I read well and can offer inflections but regretably I only speak English. The English I speak is Oklahoma y'all. I don't really sound like Cletus on the Simpsons but I could probably fake some dialects.

My Voice Experience

I haven't got any previous voice over experience. I have sung in choirs since I was about 16. I have sung with
the Tulsa Oratorio, and Asbury Methodist choir as well as numerous musical productions. I have a decent singing voice that's adequate for rare solo work. I probably fit in best helping others harmonize. I have played piano professionally and sung while I was at it. I'm inquiring into this job as seems like an interesting way to make extra income. My blind grandfather relied on long playing LPS to read books to him and my mother is also using cd books on tape. If I could make money doing this or any other kind of voice-over work, I think it could be fun.

Additional Skills

I'm willing to submit my voice to an audition. I'm looking at this as an interesting side line that would be fun to do on a regular basis. I'm totally new and this and I'm hoping that perhaps you will remember that Letterman started at as a weatherman reporting on hail the size of canned hams. I do have a sense of playfulness and imagination. I'm a huge fan of Pixar.
