Voice Description

I have been educated in a Catholic, all boys, private school in Hampshire England. I have worked in professions that require a clear and confident voice and I am very comfortable in using my voice.
I am a total novice in this industry, but have for many years felt it would be one that I would be good at. I like the idea of storytelling or narrative, but I am also attracted to commercial and 'trailer' projects.
My voice is deep and my vocabulary is wide, because of my education. I am considered in the wording I choose and in the pronunciation of them.
I feel my tone of voice is smooth and warm and I am able to apply most colloquial English accents, however I think I can be best described as a typical well spoken, southern English, young(ish) man.
