Mary-Lou Drachenberg

Voice Description

An actress for most of my life and as a lifetime performer, singer, dancer, puppeteer, I am strong in various voices, from character to professional announcer type, to clear teacher quality for educational purposes. My vocal strength lies in the various things that I can do with my voice to create various characters with dialects in various ages and both in its human and unhuman qualities, its singability, as well as its strength and soft sultry sexiness.

Thank you for reading about me I hope I can create that project for you that makes you stand out amongst all your competitors
