I have a neutral accent, and can do middle eastern & indian dialects. I can do few impersonations and characters, e.g. like sound drunk, aggressive, husky, or speak with deep chest/throat to a little bass, or with zeal and hyper. Funny or serious. I can do variations, like dry grungy..... or laid back husky with bass crips and clear for commercials and also flat tone for recording messeges.

At first i recorded announcements for radio. and then went on to record promos and station ids. Three years ago i did my first pizza hut voice over. and since then i have done v.o for short documentaries, tv commercial ads, radio ad spots, news items. I am comfortable editing and mastering. i have done graduation in computer sciences, and a multimedia diploma from Arena Multimedia. working for a Fm radio station for 11 years. I have taken basic workshops and training, from BBC international services, here in Pakistan. and attended many media conferences. I am the end user at my radio studio facility, where i get to even use the facility un assisted by sound engineers, as well. I dont know the name of the mixer, or for that matter, the sound card in the computer, but i learnt the name of the Microphone, which was recently installed, they call it Phantom. kinda nice :) Then I can use Sony Vegas & Sound forge, but i got my basic training with Adobe audition. I basically am a computer guy, and graphics fascinate me. i am handy with computer graphics, video cameras, editting, making presentations, and all sort of voice overs. I write in my part time for magazines, and radio shows. In free time i am either driving with friends, or listening music. I have worked as a presenter in product presentations, made few animations for projecters. I believe in following passion, and paychecks are all a result of the activities.
