• Evokes Rod Stewart, John Waite, Paul McCartney, Steve Perry (Journey) & Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin). Although a Rock n Roller at heart, I can sing pop, easy-listening, standards, etc.

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

Raised on strict diet of Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny, Hanna-Barbera, Fractured Fairy Tales, and the like!

I can impersonate a British accent, Southern drawl, a slowed down voice, squeaky voices like Howie Mandell, Godzilla screeches...and some sounds that are just plain inhuman. :-)

I love making noises and trying to mimic and/or parody what I hear.
