I have done some book readings and have a great voice for audiobooks.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I think I could do a German accent with funny narative.

I can also go really, really deep with my voice. I have quite a deep range, and could do "thuder voices".

My Voice Experience

I have been a disc jockey for a radio station. At first, hired to do afternoon work, but, because of my enthusiastic voice became the Morning show disc jockey.

Later on, I was able to do the News for the afternoon program.

I have done some narration with slide shows, and stage productions.

I have also done book readings. With the inflections in my voice, I seem to make book reading very fun.

My Training

Went to "Ron Bailey's Western School of Broadcast". There we were trained in voice and how to use our voice the best for broadcasting.

While working for my first radio station, I was involved in producing commercials, and also for reading the news. Produced the commercials myself for selling to the client.

Graduated 2nd in my class.

Did some media production.

Additional Skills
