Of course, as someone of such wild imagination and a concept of story and character, I believe I have talent to provide excellent narration and vocal drama: -The 'cool guy' =B) -The brooding villain -The no-nonsense tough guy -The sexeh, smooth-talking stud! -The ... well... regular guy. -Midwesterner -Country hick -The (respectfully) mentally disabled gentileman -The 'opera singer' Impersonations: -Yakov Smirnoff -Forrest Gump (to be better revised)

I am rather new to the Voice Acting Industry in any professional sense, but I have bits and pieces of experience: I have done on-track promo pieces for local Minneapolis bands and musicians for their albums. I have done some radio show intro tracks for a controversial Augsburg College radio show called 'Auggie Style' I have done plenty of voice recording of other people in the past(including hip-hop vocals, sung vocals, and the voiceovers of others) and know audio engineering/how to put together a good mix. - Bachelors in Business Administration (conc.
