Voice Description

I have a very talented voice. I can sound as if I am from the West Coast or from the Deep South. I can sound like a professional and a playboy. I have a smooth easy voice. I can be the character of the father in a commercial/story, and the son at the same time. My voice has many variations. I currently do Commercial Radio DJ work, for a rock station and a country station. I take my job very seriously but with a fun edge so my listening audience knows I am real. I talk to my audience not talk at them. I can become a Best Friend just by my personality thru my voice. As twisted as it may sound, I can talk to myself as one person, and answer myself as another all in the same voice talent production. I can also add sound effects, music, etc... to any or all parts of my work.
