Robert Maxwell

40s movie gangster, news announcer Canadian/French Canadian accent, British dialect

Picture a youthful newscaster, all thick blond wavy locks, perma tan, perma cheekbones and blinding white teeth. Uh, okay that's not me. But I was given a rich, vibrant, natural voice that catches peoples' attention. Mainly, it's been news documentaries where pronunciation and quiet confidence are key. Journalism decree with emphasis on radio and television arts. I've also long been an amateur musician focusing on trumpet, guitar and some keyboard. I have a Shure PG42 large diaphragm condenser microphone in my personal professional voice over studio. It offers robust bass close up and nice natural tones with a step back. It is USB-connected to a custom-built PC (wired into the next room for noise reduction) with an MSI H81M-E33 motherboard and Intel Pentium G3220 processor. Headphones are Sony MDR-7506s Running Audacity 2.0.5 right now. Simple and clean. I'm active, outdoorsy. And by that I mean jumping off the morning yoga mat, onto a mountain bike where I'll cycle off road to the nearest rock wall. There, I'll climb the face repeatedly until reaching a spiritual high. Then I'll descend quietly and fearlessly for the lazy ride home where I'll nestle into the bourbon lounge for a quick read of the latest political thriller leaving the TV news on in the background and jazz on the kindle.
