I have performed a very diverse number of native English accent dialects, as well as foreign dialects speaking English, usually with good results. I can perform any accent or dialect needed as long as there is a sample to work from. Accents I have performed include: US - all regions & dialects UK - all regions & dialects Ireland South Africa Australia/New Zealand Jamaican Caribean (generic) Asian accents: Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Southeast Asian (generic) Indian, Pakistani, Persian (Iran), Arabic, Hebrew European accents French, Dutch, German, Scandinavian (generic), Russian, Baltic (generic), Eastern European (generic), Italian, Greek South American - Hispanic Mexican, Brazillian, Argentine, other hispanic generic. If I can hear it, I can imitate it.

I have been a stage actor and lecturer since very young, with my first lead acting role at the age of 12. As an adult I started doing voice work for the local water utility in Fairbanks Alaska in 1998. Since that time I have had varied experience in radio as a talk show host, commercial voice over and with audio book recording.
