New Yawk! Brooklyn, I can do a mean Ulsterman..I even fooled an Irishman that I was from County Armagh! I lived in England and delighted in annoying a Welsh house-mate by imitating his accent and getting him in trouble with his girlfriend when I imitated his voice to tell her off on the phone. My Scots accent is good but annoying and I can do a variety of English and Scandinavians. Living near Brampton I can do a mean Pakistani/ Indian "very very good" accent....I mean I could even work in a convenience store with such an accent. Part-French Canadian, de accent she come natural, by gar!, I can do a read in French., Spanish both Antonio Banderas as Puss in Boots type stuff and a rather mocking Speedy Gonzales a la Mel Blanc

Retired Science & Math teacher with a great trained voice!! Radio broadcasting and voice helped put me through university but being kind of mixed up I got a math degree instead!! Yep, I was a math teacher and department head (and a good one too - give me a voice gig I'll tutor your kids!) with a past in theatre and another degree in radio broadcasting. Former news reader, reporter and announcer on major market station then went back to use my math degree. Now I pulled the plug and became a "superannuated" (love that term) teacher I want to get back into voice work and will start out part time. Strong public speaker. Can be persuasive, friendly, brash. I read names and awards at convocations, mc various events..but my true passion is in the studio. Advantage: because I have been out of it for years my voice is still "new" in all markets. A variety of drama courses, workshops and productions in my younger days. MC at school functions and announcer at commencements. 4 university degrees but most importantly I am an honors Graduate of Humber College (Toronto) in Radio Broadcasting.(3rd in the class) Completed voice over workshops and a demo preparation workshop with Voiceworx (Mike Kirby), Toronto. Right now I am using a voice card, hooked up to a Dell computer. The Mic is a MXL DRK and I have a set up with sufficient sound baffling that the ambient noises are not picked up. I live in the country north of Toronto and do not have easy access to a studio out here but if you have a studio within 100 miles of Toronto I'll be there. As a former Teacher..use me for academic type stuff - writing, reporting skills. Wide range of "head voices". Computer literate. Some technical background. Commercial pilot and commercial radio licenses. Some science background - I can read technical reports and scientific tomes with understanding. I can supply a full resume for anyone who is interested. I would love to get a gig as the corporate voice of a tv or radio station or a company...but basically will do anything...on hold messages, greetings, any voiceovers at all. .....and as a licensed mortgage broker, I also do mortgages...so you can pay me!
