Voice Description

I have a voice that can sound; smooth, gruf, young, old, melodic, deep, high, southern, Northeast, other nationalities, broadcast, western, cartoon characterization, Hollywood actor imitation.
I can sound like the men who do voice over for movie trailers.
I have been told I should have went into news or sports broadcasting because I have "radio" voice. That has always been my passion. I have always wanted to lend my voice to animation, commercial, or TV spot voice over.

My Voice Experience

I have not done professional voice over. However, I feel I am a golden nugget needing to be mined and discovered. Pay isn't even that big of deal right now, I just want to prove that I have a very large spectrum of voices that I can offer.

My Training

Two degrees from University of Idaho. - Marketing and Public Communication.
Currently working on MBA at George Fox University.
16 years of Marketing and Training.
I used many different voices during my presentations and training to empahize points I make.
Took many broadcasting classes for Public Communication degree and did internal work (demos) PSA's, voice over for college.

My Studio Equipment

I have none. Tell me where to go, where to be, how to do it and I will.

Additional Skills

I am very gregarious with many different voice inflections.
I am somewhat of a TV, Music, movie, and advertising history junkie. There aren't too many movies, or tv shows that I don't know or reference to. There are many voices I can do regarding actors, or animals from the last 50 years.
I have created my own voice characters.
I am also quick witted and can do impromptu responses.
