Michael Baumann

I can perform in notable accents such as British (Specifically a London-esque dialect) as well as (with practice and determination) an Irish accent. Not to mention that my mid-western Michigander accent is in such full force that it is a constant battle to supress the ingrained pronunciations of "yer" (your), "ta" (to), and "hunderd" (hundred).

With much humility and flattery aside, I have been fortunate in being immediately commissioned to do voice-over work upon entering jobs in radio broadcasting in addition to having regular responsibilites.
