Voice Description

I have often been described as "The Voice Over Chameleon". When delivering the "hard sell" I can preform an effective, commanding, "Announcer" type voice, while also capable of a smooth, soothing, deep toned delivery for narration and the "softer sell". By utilizing my natural speaking voice, I can capture the essence of the "guy next door" approach for projects that require a vocal actor.

I can do many impressions both political and celebrity, common and obscure ...but most importantly, I can mimic several well known Voice-Over Artists and Announcers, from Don Pardo-esc to Casey Kasem-ish and dozens in between. My comedic delivery is spot on. I take direction well.

I am confident in making the following claim:

..."if you can describe what you want, I can make it happen"
