Voice Description

Please note that although my I live in Doha, Qatar, I am a U.S. citizen from San Diego, California.

I possess a great announcer voice for T.V and radio commercials. I have been told I sound like the "Movie Phone" guy or some other announcer that a listener would typically hear on the radio. In short, I can perform voiceovers sounding like the typical announcer that a listener may laugh at, yet consider what I have communicated.

My cartoon voice is probably the most amazing. This squeaky voice sounds more like Elmo of Sesame Street, yet can be adjusted to sound like a real 5 year old boy or girl, or a female. This is done WITHOUT a voice synthesizer. Without a doubt this voice is applicable to cartoons, video games, K-4 educational software, and movies. This animated voice is hilarious when I speak on adult topics, yet using this little voice.

Having spent time in the U.S. Marine Corps, I can also emulate the voice of a Drill Instructor or simply a typical "gung-ho" Marine.

My voice can be adjusted to sound like an African-American thug from certain parts of New York, New Jersey. I would limit the use of this voice to commercials.
