I am quite good at carrying a stream of conciousness for almost any character. I got it from my mother who can do the same thing. I can do many different accents that are very realistic. They include Indian, Boston, cranky old man, Brooklynese, middle-aged secretary, old lady, Diane Rehm, sleazy night club owner, mafia, tough guy, gay, Dom Deluise, effeminate, Asian man, Australian, lisp, wheezing, wavering, stuttering, wheezy old man, nerd, car salesman.

I have never done any voice over work, but have entertained family, friends and kids for years with my accents, and my ability to literally shift my voice on a dime. Everyone has said I should be an actor or do something with it. My ability seems to come from a very good ear coupled with some strange innate ability to not only copy what I hear, but to actually think like the person I'm immitating. This is part of what makes it so convincing. Actually, it's genetic. My mother has the same ability; when we were kids, she used to entertain us with a Brooklynese persona for long periods of time. She was absolutely amazing. I promise I can make you laugh, unless you're made of stone. Then maybe not. No official voice over training, so I don't have to "unlearn" anything! I do have: BA Political Science/Economics, 1986, Northeastern University MA Economics, Northeastern University, 1993
