I have no professional experience with voice work. I spend a lot of time at work talking on the telephone with clients and I am constantly told how my voice is very recognizable. Many of my clients have never met me face to face and are surprised when they finally put a face to the voice. On one occasion, I was going to meet a client with whom I have done business for quite some time and we had developed a friendly rapport. I was going to pretend to be a potential customer for her and give her a hard time as a joke since she had never met me personally. As soon as I started talking, she said, "Nice try, but I that voice too well."
I have never had any type of voice training. I learned of this opportunity by searching the internet. I have never attended any seminars or classes but now that I am actively pursuing this line of work, I will now start looking for these activities in my city.
I am able to do various celebrity impersonations and some cartoon characters. I have always been able to mimic friends, teachers and other people with whom I have contact on a personal level ever since I was a young kid. When I was in the Army, I was always good at calling cadence when we would do group runs.
