My Home Base

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I was half raised on an American Navy base in Holland, since my uncle was stationed there. This is why I speak fluently, or 'native' North-American English.

In British English, I can speak like a proper cockney, or like a 'Soho Londoner'.

In Dutch, I can speak 'ABN', which in Dutch stands for 'proper' Dutch. I can also do a typical Amsterdam accent. I can also speak with a Belgium accent.

My Voice Experience

I started as radio DJ in 1989 and landed an addiction for live! Ever since, i have been radio-jock and also in clubs. Through the years i have also done many different voiceover jobs, but mainly radio commercials.

I love doning radio commercials, promo's and spots, but would love to do more movie trailer jobs. This is just so much fun to do!

My Training

Completely autodidact. Everything i know and can, comes from 20+ years of experience...
