Voice Description

As I stated before, I have a rough, but smooth urban voice. I can be casted as the "guy from the hood", the "party Promoter", a "mechanic", etc. I can do any character in Black America. By music being my profession, I'd like to keep my voiceovers in an urban setting to get people notice Sewamouf(my stage name) as a brand. Anything street or involved in an urban setting, I'm your guy. I would sound great doing radio and television commercials for recording artists, parties or events, as well as fast food restaurants, family restaurants, amusement parks, adult beverages, soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, fashion, and video games.
