Voice Description

“My voice is a natural movie trailer voice, ideal for Halloween imaging and narration – often described as scary, sexy, strong and sincere, booming, sometimes mysterious or authoritative, deadpan & wry. In a chamber choir I would naturally sing the basso profundo, or deep bass, though I do have a 3+octave range."
