Voice Description

I'm capable of doing voice characterizations, a very few impressions, geeky nasally voices, and deep profound scholarly sounding voices.
I'm capable of singing... as well as capable of singing badly.
I have a fondness for smooth, professional "FM" voice work.
If you like Shadoe Stevens and Don Pardo, I have a voice for that niche.
If you need something more along the lines of Roger Rabbit or Bullwinkle, or even Stimpy, I quite likely have a voice you will like.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am capable of mimicking a wide variety of accents.
There is a 'Mr Rogers' I do that is kind of creepy.
I Read spanish very well, although I may not understand all of what I read, I have been told I sound like a newsperson when I read it.
Don't do a Glasgow accent. Sorry. What difference does it make anyway? No other English speaking person can understand those people.
I speak English fairly well, and I can do many regional characterizations, NYC ( pick a borough!) Kentucky, Midwestern... Irish...

My Voice Experience

I have been doing live shows for the last 18 years. Comedy and emcee work.
I haven't been exposed in any broadcast medium in 25 years.
Give a guy a break, wouldja?

My Training

I'm a graduate of COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF BROADCASTING. Remember them? 1982.

I did a canned radio gig in 1981. the circumstances of my life just didn't seem to line up at that time to pursue a career in media.
In the late 80's I started doing comedy and emcee work. As a hobby and a lark.
I am often asked to speak at gatherings.
Okay, so maybe I don't have impressive credentials... I have a voice, and I know how to use it.
