Non-accented American English

I'm not going to lie to you, I'm still new to the game, but you can rely on me to give you every ounce of what I've got. I've been reading and talking my entire life (in fact, the running joke in my family is that I was born talking, so my poor mother never got a second of peace!) and those passions led me to activities like the morning announcements in school, roles in theatre productions, solos in singing groups, and now voice acting. I want to share my passion for words with the world because I feel like the "voice" of a product or idea is just as important -- if not more important -- than a great logo and brand image. The quotable commercials and characters are the ones that stick! My voice-acting dreams include voicing an animated character in a big-budget film, bringing life to a main character in a video game, and reading one of my favorite books for blind (or just very busy) readers. Let me follow my dreams and make them lucrative realities for you! - Trained with William Williams in Burbank, California. - Have been consistently asked to host presentations and train others in school and work due to a lack of stage fright and a commanding presence - Have been responsible for recording all voicemail and telephone greetings at former workplaces due to the professionalism of my voice (and have been mistaken for a machine by clients because my "voice is so clear!") - Took basic audio production classes in college Home studio in sound-dampened room Computer: MacBook Microphone: Blue Yeti USB I'm a degreed junior-level computer programmer so I consider myself to be very computer-savvy. If I don't know how to do something, I immediately do research and figure out the best way to accomplish what is needed. I have an excellent command of American English and can edit scripts for grammatical and emotional consistency.
