Voice Description

I often get comments on my voice. People always tell me how they love my voice. They say it is sexy or they tell me how unique it is and how they wish thy had it. Due to some vocal damage I have a rather raspy voice that isn't at the irritating level but rather unique and stands out. I am new to the voice over field and haven't worked on any projects up to this point. I am a conference speaker and have many CD's recorded and purchased at that level. I also sing and am in the midst of recording my first CD. Living in the Los Angeles area seems to fit with opportunities in the entertainment and audio industry. I just thought I would take a chance and see if my voice is a good fit for someone's need.
