Voice Description

I am capable of performing a wide range of voices and accents, my natural voice is fairly bass, but I can alter it to any pitch and tone. My native tongue is English, but I can also perform in Spanish with a variety of accents, Argentinian, Mexican, Castillian, and more. In English, I can perform with a Boston accent (I'm from Boston, so it's authentic), a British accent (several types), Scottish, Irish, Southern (American), Aussie, Midwestern (American), and any others you can think of. If I hear an accent, I can perform it. More obscure voices I can do include Smeagol/Gollum from The Lord of the Rings, Tusken Raiders from Star Wars, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Barry White, The Claw from Inspector Gadget, a Newport snobby accent, I'm sort of drawing a blank in regards to other voices. If you request a voice, I can probably figure it out, and record it.

My Voice Experience

Throughout my life I've had a lot of experience playing with my voice, and using it to perform. I had the lead part in a variety of plays and musicals, was a member of several improv teams, so on and so forth. I recorded a small spot for Dial-A-Ninja, a dating service in my area, and am looking to branch out. These skills have helped me to develop a wide range of voices with which I can perform.
Afterwards, I became quite a bit of an Audiophile, and recorded my voice for various peoples projects, friends' small businesses so on and so forth. My friends and I are also considering starting a Podcast.

What else...I have recorded voice overs for several community modifications for popular games, done announcing for High School sports, and more.

My Training

One of my friends recommended I use my vocal talents in the voice over industry, so I decided to give it a whack. I went to a seminar at the University I attend (BYU) regarding voice recording, and have tooled around with what I learned there. I was also a vocalist in a band for some time.
