Voice Description

If you are looking for a low voice with nice timbre, then you have found it. I am a classically trained singer and do operetta and musical theatre constantly. Therefore, it may be a bit musical in scope, but it is very professional and very strong. I am especially good at narration.
I can do Irish, English, Scottish, Minnesotan, Chicago, and Southern dialects.
