My Voice Experience

I guess you could say Ive been doing this since i was about 7 or 8 years old, but it wasnt until 2007 where i was assounded by how many people i could make laugh. Maybe it was my characters, then again maybe it was the food in my teeth. Regardless the people i work with have a great time and love being around me. My mom is always telling me "i wish you'd try acting". I wont lie to you I have no formal training, and have never done this before professionaly. If given this oppertunity, I wont disappoint.

My Training

All my education is in fire fighting, ive only taken drama 1 in highschool back in 2001. All my voice impressions are done sitting in front of the TV then bombarding coworkers, family, and my poor girlfriend with my voice. As for journalism well i suck at english and i attempt to speak it but do it poorly.

My Studio Equipment

I know that a mic is the thing you speak into, and the speakers are where the sound come out (amplified of course).

Additional Skills

Once again this is my first time professionaly, but all i know is that everyone that i meet says that i remind them of Jim Carry, and that I always make them laugh.

Payment Methods Accepted

• Personal checks, cashier's checks, or money orders in my local currency
