Voice Description

I have a good range to my voice with a great understanding of timing and emotional context. The alteration of my natural voice lends itself well to comedy and I showcase strong skills in banter and discourse. I can do very serious street/slang tones, as well as the slightly high-pitched nerd. Background in stand-up comedy for knowledge of syncopation. Not gruff, but can sound hard.

Voice is commanding yet approachable. It entreats the listener's attention well.
