Voice Description

As a national championship speaker, I have a combination sound of energy and authority. I travel as a brand spokesman for worldwide known products and the sound imaging for them is specific yet must be multi-culturally accepted.

My teaching voice is one that garner's the most recognition. The ability to explain complex data and ideas while engaging the listener is an artform I prevail at.

Commercially, my acting background brings immediate emotional recognition to very brief copy. Narration provides my voice the ability to bring the listener any author's intended message.

Heartfelt endearing dialogue is another specialty of mine. With soft, intimate warm tones, my range of chords will provide the sounds you need.
