Voice Description

PERFECTIONIST! I am versatile in all styles of voice-over. From a sincere, soft-sell to a smooth, professional corporate narration to hard-sell car dealer spots. I pride myself on my voice acting ability. Theater of the mind voiceover actor. I am also proficient in a good number of accents (Southern sophisticate, Hard Southern, British, Irish, Australian, German, French, Japanese, etc.) My voice has a certain crossover appeal from early's 20s to middle-aged, as the script requires. QUALITY is a must in all projects I do. Sound quality, vocal quality, ambience, effects, everything. I am also highly proficient in Adobe Audition, which means you not only get QUALITY but you get it FAST! Your project is my most important job.
