Voice Description

Rich baritone voice with a broad range. Signature notes I've been given: witty, sarcastic, off beat, droll, cool, confident, businessman, husband/dad, bored, bluecollar, endearing, underplayed, tongue in cheek, jaded, niave, hushed, inspiring. One director I've studied with immediately thought I was a dead ringer for a Tom Bodett prototype. Possible prototypes: Tom Bodett, Steve Wright, maybe even George Carlin & Charles Grodin.
