Additional Skills

My voice has a pretty wide range and the software and equipment gives me lots of range. Tempo and delivery are sometimes vital to the success of a piece. Scripts designed for up-tempo/exciting delivery can be wordy--otherwise, your script writer must be cautious to leave space for proper flow. Give as much particular description regarding what you want the voice and delivery to sound like (lots of adjectives) and describe desired tempo and tone. The more I know about what you expect helps to ensure my best effort and a product that meets or exceeds your expectations.
