Voice Description

My voice and delivery are very listenable; my voiceovers stand out because I sound like a real person and not a radio voice. My interpretive, pitch, and pacing skills are excellent -- what I do is communicate, not read. I'm a guy telling his neighbor about products, services, ideas. I talk TO him and not AT him.

I do character voices modeled on real people, chiefly over-the-top ethnic. I look for the 'emotional equivalent' of differing nationalities and US regional including genteel and redneck Southern, very over-the-top urban, upperclass and Cockney British, Asian, Indian, and Middle Eastern.

I do character voices including over-the-top urban / Asian / Middle Eastern / Italian / British. Though they are funny, I treat each ethnicity with respect. The points of view of people from different parts of the world and different parts of the US give unique perspectives, getting points across in powerful ways. These characterizations are very useful for voiceover work and are used by many voiceover talents, including voice actors I know.
