Voice Description

Perfect radio announce voice; takes direction extremely well. Natural warm baritone. Several octaves pitch for high flexibility.

Very versatile voice ranging from monster truck pull blasting voice to super slick sleazy sales.

With years of experience doing corporate training, I can make long boring prose sound fresh and engaging. I can read a Yellow Pages and make it sound like Jurassic Park!
