Accents are a special favorite of mine. I enjoy hearing a different dialect, and I endeavor to reproduce them with as much integrity as one can do, without being naturally predisposed to the accent. Accents I am comfortable and proficient with: "New York Italian" (Fuggeddaboutit),Long Island ("Lawn-Guyland"), Southern Drawl, Californian "Valley Dude", North Dakotan "Fargo" Midwesterner, Nondescript Generic Accent Free "American". Foreign accents include "Snooty British Upper Crust", Irish Leprechaun, Stereotypical Arrogant "Disgruntled French Parisienne", White South African Male, Russian, German, Japanese, Delhi Indian, Jewish Rabbi (Mel Brooks style). Other accents will take just a few minutes, in most cases, for me to formulate a reasonable emulation of the dialect. Characterizations Include: "Droopy Dog" "SpongeBob Squarepants" (lncludes "Patrick", "Mr. Crabbs" and "Squidward" as well) "Marvin The Martian" "Barney" The Dinosaur "Mini Me" Squeal (Austin Powers)

While I have no direct voice over experience, I have been honored to work with some of New York's best musicians as drummer and back up singer for Energy Express which requires me to vary my singing voice from bass to falsetto, across various genres and tempos, as well as varying from male to female backups. My lead vocalists and I have worked very hard to blend complex three and four part harmonies into our repetoire, and it is my job as backup vocalist, to mesh nearly invisibly with male and female vocalists, to provide the "Musical Illusion" that you are hearing the original recording by the original artist. I have a Master's Degree in Nursing, and have worked for 20 years in the nursing and medical profession, presently working as a Nurse Practitioner in private practice. In addition, I have 30 years of experience as a drummer, and persussionist, as well as 15 years of lead and backing vocal experience. Musical theater experience in high school, with productions of "45 Minutes from Broadway", "Godspell", "Damn Yankees", and others. Under construction, but will soon have capability for complete voice production from home studio. My interests are wide and varied, however, one area I would like to explore more of, would be Medical Documentary, Continuing Medical Education, and Scientific Voice Overs, Technical Voice overs.
