Voice Description

Though having done little work in the industry, my voice is able to shift between many different character types. My particular favour being towards dark brooding figures. However, I am also able to create voices that are warming, flirtatious, zainy, mischevious, young and old. I can also provide a range of voices fit for fantasy setting such as ogre, deamon and impish like voices.

Additional Skills

Having worked in several different retail industries, i've gained a sence of humour, because without it, the world would seem pretty dull. Having to engage with customers from different areas and cultures, alows me to act and react with many of them in order to create an enjoyable atmosphere, in which the customer will feel that there would be no problem in returning to the store.

Whilst at university I contributed to the student radio station as a co-host on a rock themed two hour talk and music show. Thus I have some knowledge on operating recording equipment and it's various uses.

Whilst doing my degree's, I oft employed the use of visual recording equipment and sound recordings to create informative and humerous presentations. Including titles as 'an introduction to Montage' 'Budget Ninja' and 'Backyard Royal Rumble'.

I'm a pretty charasmatic person, and would love to work in this industry. Though lack of experience is my downfall, I certainly make up for it with ambition and raw talent... and modesty.
