My Voice Experience

I've convinced a school I was from Liverpool, I've impressed crowds with Shakespeare comedy performances, I've enthralled listeners with narratives, and college acting professors have mistaken me for a graduate of their class.
I adore entertaining people with my voice, be it with comedy, suspense, or even just reading information.

My Training

Most of my training comes from experience. I have read books on the subject, and sat in a few voice classes. Though I have no college degree of my own, I've actually coached people when they were struggling in their acting classes in college. My voice and my acting are my talents, and they come very naturally to me. I do not feel as if I would not benefit from classes; I definitely want to go to college soon, when financial situations allow.

My Studio Equipment

Blue Snowball microphone, Adobe Audition 3.0
As you can see, my equipment list isn't very large, and that's something I hope to work on when I have the money. Until then, I have an amazing friend with a few years of audio engineering under his belt that helps me by cleaning up my tracks.
