I can do Scottish, Irish, French, and Middle Eastern accents. My list of impersonations includes Jack of Blades (from FABLE), Sean Connery, The Gravemind (from HALO 2 and HALO 3), Ansem (from original Kingdom Hearts), The Prophet of Truth (Both Halo 2 and Halo 3 versions), Duke Nukem (from various Duke Nukem video games), various STAR WARS characters (such as Yoda, Darth Vader, Darth Sidious), Master Roshi from Dragonball (Funimation Television series), Gandalf, as well as Sarumon (from The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings movies) and numerous others. In addition, I happen to be good with character lines that involve rhyming.

I haven't yet been able to get a job involving voice overs...however, it is something I have been doing since I was a kid, movies and video games with amazing stories and voice actors to bring out the true emotion within them have always inspired me. To me, voice acting is more than just a hobby, it is an extension of the very soul of the character or the core of the work that you are voice acting for. I have been exploring and honing my skills in particular for the last six years. I am currently in college for "The Arts" (Acting, to be more specific). I plan to make my career in voice acting in particular, and when I do an impersonation, I study not just the people or character voices I impersonate, but also who they are and what "makes them tick", so to speak. I spend hours practicing my skills in voice acting each day, with a variety of characters and people to keep me sharp and prepared.
