Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am able to perform the following accents/ dialects after each one is a breakdown of their uses:
Southern, British, Cockney,Irish,Puerto Rican/Latino/ Cuban, Jewish/ Yiddish, Brooklyn/ New Yorker, South & North Jersey dialect, Philadelphia dialect.

Southern - this accent is useful for commercials or cartoons and bringing to life characters in a book that takes place in the south or for a character in a Video Game.

British - This is my favorite....I grew up listening to Julie Andrews & I feel my British accent reflects the way she speaks...I have been compared to her when I use this accent.

Cockney - Picture Eliza Dolittle in My Fair Lady...when she is the flower selling gutter snipe.

Irish - I have used this accent for video Game demos that have characters from Ireland.

Puerto Rican /Cuban/ Latino: this accent, as all the other ones i have listed, can be used in commercial / radio/ cartoons/ animated films / Video games.

Jewish/ Yiddish - These are great to use & are fun...especially if you are looking for Barbara Striesand like voice from Funny Girl (Fanny Brice Character).

Brooklyn/ New Yorker - Used for character voices that require a voice based from North Jersey or NYC.

South & North New Jersey - I was born & raised in South Jersey & live outside Philadelphia & right below North Jersey...i am surrounded with these dialects & can pick them up very easily.

I do a lot of musical theater & some of my favorite roles have included those where I needed to use an accent or dialect.

I have over 20 years experience on the theatre stage. with over 50 stage performances under my belt - Mostly musical theatre with 90% being a lead or secondary lead role.
This training helped with different character developments. It also helped in learning new accents and dialects.
A huge part of acting on stage is delivery of your lines...You need to understand and know why you are saying a line & what it is you are trying to get across to the audience. Being natural at delivery is important.

FTP - As long as you are able to supply me with a site to upload to (along with the information I need to upload the completed project) - I can use FTP to transfer audio files. I use "FileZilla" or "You send it".

I am able to add instrumental music as a background to my voice...I have a small music library solely for VO work that I am able to pull from.

If needed.....I am willing to travel to a studio in my area to put down voice tracks. I live in an area where there are many studios available to me so I can go to a studio if requested.
