Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I speak in a natural American English with a more California accent in a normal pitch. I also speak in a natural Egyptian Arabic with a more Cairo accent in a normal pitch. Can speak in an Egyptian country accent as well as other Arabic accents such as that of "elsham" (ie. Lebanese) and "elkhalej" (ie. Kuwaiti).

In either language, I can change my voice to higher pitches as well as low, deep pitches. Can speak with a lisp, in a nasaly or raspy tone and have fun with different accents to suit a variety of fun characters.

My Voice Experience

My interest steams from my love and appreciation for animated characters and the different voices I have played with at family gatherings and small events. I'm also fascinated by how a narration can bring forth a story or presentation to life.

My simple experience includes the recording of my personally written piece on religion which is currently featured at the Arab American National Museum (link below) located in Dearborn, Michigan. I've done a few narration recordings for small businesses and graduate school related presentations.
