Voice Description

I have provided a list of type of voiceover job and how my voice can fit each:

Narration and audiobooks - warm and rich, with a pleasant baritone to entice listeners and engage them in the story. Also my mastery of the English dialect is great for a variety of literature by English authors.

Commercials - high energy, sincere, non-announcery, pleasant, conversational, believable, teen, gritty

Animation - quirky, anything goes from wild and zany to dark and looming

The point is, my voice is very versatile!
