Mark Raymond

I have no discernible regional accent. Even though I have lived in Texas all my life, I do not have a southern accent. People tell me they have no idea where I am from since I just speak proper English without any kind of accent. I can do a monotone NPR type voice, I can do smooth jazz radio station type voice; a Barry White type fashion. I can impersonate Smaug character from the Hobbit movies. I've been told I have the kind of voice often heard in hypnosis/subliminal recordings.

I have no voice over experience. For many years I worked in a call center and was told on dozens of occasions "you should work in radio, you have a great voice." Lately people have been telling me in person the same thing that I have a great radio voice. I have a bachelors in business and a masters in counseling. I have no training or degrees specifically related to voice over, communications, media production or journalism. I have no studio equipment since I have never actually done this type of work before. At this point the only thing I could do relating to equipment is buy a one-way microphone and plug it into my apple mac and email a recording I am middle aged, I am a professional counselor. my strengths would be maturity, calm, reasonable, sympathetic, reassuring, putting people at ease. I can deliver voice in a calm, soothing, relaxing fashion.
