Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I can manipulate my voice to create different characterizations, both male and female, human and nonhuman and from very young to very old. I have a collection of stock voices which includes, but is not limited to: sassy urban chicks; a mischievous, phlegmy and somewhat pompous old man I call The General; several different air-headed valley girls; a sweet, naive, shrill, middle-aged Cockney woman; a deep, demonic voice; a high-pitched voice that brings to mind little space aliens or mice; frontal and lateral lisps that could portray a young child or a braces-clad adolescent (male or female); an MC/announcer who ranges from used car salesman to boxing ring referee; a sexy, sultry female voice; nerdy, gender neutral dweeb; hillbilly; overbearing Jewish mother; robotic Steven Hawking-esque voice; snooty, yacht-owning, WASP (male); and Southern belle. In addition, I can do a number of accents: Russian, Indian, French, Spanish, British, Irish, Australian, Mexican.

My Voice Experience

I am just starting out in voice over. I have acted in an independent film and done the voice over narration for that film. I have cut two demo reels with PDR Voice Over Coaching. I have done voice recording for an international standards organization to use in developing voice compression technology.
