Voice Description

I have been told many times that I have a voice suited for radio.
Several people have joked that they would listen to me even if I was reading a phone book.

My voice is warm and deep, more honey flavoured, a James Earl Jones quality.

My voice commands attention, whenever I begin to speak people listen, it has a commanding presence yet soothing as well.

This quality many have said is perfect for Narrations, Documentaries and educational purposes.

There is also an authoritative aspect which would lend itself quite well for Presentations.
