Voice Description

A real, tell-it-like-it-is directness, urban, edgy, warm and a guy next door quality are some of my strengths. I equally employ a voice you can trust: a blue-collar or Mid-American professional-helpful and friendly. My voice also sounds mid-20's - energetic, playful and fun. There is a natural grit in my voice and an urban feel to my cadence and delivery. real, wry, gritty, urban, dad, guy next door, sincere friendly, raspy, engaging, hip,sarcastic,
