Being raised outside Beantown, I can deliver a strong New England regional sound as well as Standard Southern and rural south. Leaping to the other side of the pond, I can create a BBC British sound, as well as a convincing cockney dialect. Finally, to complement or aggravate the Brits, I can carry off a French accent, and a pretty decent Japanese accent.
