I'm a commedienne living in New York City. I have an ear for accents and have picked up on different ways of speaking ever since I was a wee thing. In my comedy, I perform characters from all around the globe and utilize my ear for accents in many different capacities. Jobs I've booked in the past tend to dip into this reservoir of accents and show off my comedic timing. I can also do "straight" and have certainly booked just your normal, run-of-the-mill conversational, relaxed scenarios.

I use it to do audio for self-produced movies about my original characters. I don't have a studio of my own but, living in New York City, can easily access one.
