Voice Description

I am adept at shaping my voice to play many different parts - I can sound like the good guy, or the most evil guy. My voice is good for commercials, for any range of products young adults use, to services used by older adults. I can be a regular guy, or an announcer, narrate movie trailers, and can get both warm/deep and cold/deep.
