Matthew Godfrey

I am from the south, so a southern long draw and dialect is given. I can also speak as if I were from Jersey, Australian, or from England, which has been beneficial when meeting women at a bar, or pulling a prank on friends or people that I have not met. I have always had a knack for impressions, and can complete many for celebrities. Bill Clinton, Arnold, and several other personal characterizations that I have created based upon people that I have met in my everyday life.

I am green as a plant when it comes to paid voice over acting. But my experience with voice over acting has been one of absolute pleasure. I worked on a campaign for a man that was running for commissioner of Pickens county in Jasper Ga. (google it, it exists haha). His name was Bill Newton and I did his voice overs for his radio and television campaigns for the north ga area. They were broadcast on WYYZ 1490AM Jasper, and as well on WLJA 101.1FM Jasper and Ellijay Ga in 2008 and 2009. I have also done voice over work for both of those radio stations while I was in college and I called live basketball for WYYZ for 3 years 2004-2006. I majored in communications from Valdosta State University and I have always wanted to further my career in voice over acting. Bachelors of fine arts in Communication from Valdosta State University 2010 No seminars or formal training. I studied performing arts at Valdosta State and took classes in vocal training and in vocal variety. I also was a member of the Georgia all state chorus program during high school. I'm will be honest, I do not have any studio equipment with me. I have an ipad2 and a normal laptop that I use in my everyday job. I am really looking to find someone that can give me knowledge about how to succeed in this business and find my niche, because I think that I have been given a voice that can be useful. In my day job I work as an admissions representative for Valdosta State University. I am used to working with a lot of people and charming a crowd. Also I understand the importance of how you make your voice sound appealing to people that are not only hearing you, but are looking at you as well. You can't sound monotone all the time, you have to have some vocal variety and pauses to be a positive public speaker and voice over actor as well. I payed football in college for five years, so I have a great knowledge about football and athletes but I will do anything and try my best at anything I receive on here. I'm just thrilled to get started and see what this site is about.
