Voice Description

I'm in my early fifties, the pipes are smooth, seasoned and rich. I enjoy reading scripts with feeling and intensity or hushed urgency, i.e. movie trailers, (i.e. The honorable late great Don LaFontaine), station I.D.'s, political radio/TV spots, Christian content narration with a compassionate feel for the subject matter. As for an announcer-style, I too enjoy to "color it up and over the top", I enjoy performing poor "Droopy the dog", I have a genuine believable Santa Claus, Scrooge, Mr.N ice guy next door, or by adding the Don Pardou edge, i.e. "The Price is Right" v/o game show announcer. Go & listen to my 2:00 voice demo, Thanks!
