ACCENTS/DIALECTS: Gifted with "an ear for dialect" and broad vocal range which can convincingly evoke accents and dialects from virtually any U.S. or global region: All variations of both traditional dialects and modern vernaculars of the regions of New England, Boston, New York City, Jersey & Philly, Chicago, California, Midwest, Southern, Western U.S. and Canada. Specific global accents include variations ranging from "The Queen's Proper English" to British cockney, Scottish trills and Irish brogans. Generic Australian, Greek, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Eastern European, Arabic, African, Indian, Asian, as well as various Caribbean, Hispanic and Latin American accents are also well within reach. IMPERSONATIONS/CHARACTERIZATIONS: "An ear for mimicry," and a capacity for character empathy, combine to provide a broad range of diverse characters and caricatures, from the obscure to the ubiquitous; including the cartoon likes of Droopy, Mr. Magoo and Foghorn Leghorn to the impassioned likes of Winston Churchill, Jesse Jackson and Newt Gingrich.
