Voice Description

Warm, friendly and soothing with an even tone for commercials and product descriptions.

Sultry, husky and sexy for character parts and specific "fun" spots - think 'Herbal Organics' sexy, sassy campaign for gorgeous hair!

Deep and commanding for character parts such as TV newscaster, police officer/security or someone in a position of authority (CEO, CFO, or manager).

Smooth, even and professional without being aggressive for presentations and instructional CD's.
