I do accents from most European countries, Asian accents, different class/regional accents from England and the USA - oh yes, I do African accents too. I can talk/sing low resonant timbres passable as mens' voices or sexy vamps in medium low or squeaky little girl voices, strident little boy voices. Celebrities I do are Marilyn Monroe, Jane Fonda/Sigourney Weaver's upstate NY accents through to the 'white trash' and African American Jerry Springer audiences plus, of course, different classes/regions of Australia (Kath and Kim's 'look at moi!" through to the clenched nasal patrician tone of Prime Minister Rudd. Basically I pick up voices as with music 'by ear'.

Trust me - I'm very good. I've just never tried to get this work before because I was raising a large family. Bachelor of Arts, UQ, (drama/media major) Honours 2a in Media Studies. Griffith University halfway through a Postgraduate Education Degree Have worked as a piano teacher with the odd gig for my singing multi-instrumental talent. Mothering six and doing these studies left no time for getting/finding other work to build my resume. But now my children are getting older, my husband left and this talent is waiting to be unleashed upon the world. I would do an audio engineering course if I had a chance with this. My son owns expensive voice recording equipment with mixing abilility (he's a rapper) which I could learn to use or use one of the many nearby affordable recording studios in Brisbane. As a 49 year old woman whose voice could pass for any age/gender/regional dialect and with intelligence and dramatic/comedic flair, I know I could really transform some projects given a chance. I have a deep resonance yet flexibility to my tone. I just need a chance to show what I can do. I have a my space page in the music section called 'venerable vulnerable'. I sing my original songs on that page and those songs give some idea of my vocal range if not my impersonation skills.
