Simon Velez

I can speak English with a Southern US accent too. I can also use NYC slang and tone as well, far away from the corporate voice tone. I can do the same in Spanish, varying my delivery from an educated voice tone to it's antithesis- more like a country bumpking would speak. Moreover I can recreate my voice to sound Dominican, Cuban and Puerto Rican as well.
