Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

STANDARD AMERICAN NON-REGIONAL ACCENT
Exceptional ear for ALL dialects and regionalisms.

I am able to speak German, and have a British European accent in my bag of tricks too! I can do a general "southern drawl" or get specific with a Tennessee Twang, Texas cowgirl, 'ole Kentucky-Homebody, or sweet Georgia Peach. If your project requires a specific southern regionalism, I'll research it and provide.

New York (borough specific if required)

I can do any region of the country and sound educated or not to whatever degree you desire.

With regard to the International Accents listed below:
If what you seek isn't listed, (Unless you're in need of an African Tribal sound with tongue clicks,) I can likely perform it!

British English: region specific if required, well educated, or not. Irish, Scottish, East Indian, Australian, South African, Afrikaans

German, Dutch, French, Greek, Israeli, Italian, Spanish

General Eastern European, or country specific
