I am a lifelong musician and singer performer who loves voice acting. I discovered voice overs a few years ago and since then I have focused on creating authentic voices at competitive rates. I do everything from movie trailers (including original music production), narrator, characters, on-hold messages, radio sweeps, accents, commercials... and I do it with original music if required. I work out of my own studio - a top recording facility in Toronto Canada. B.
