Leslie Gage Richter

I have a very wide range that includes being able to actively and consistently create high-pitched, nasally and zany voices like Spongebob Squarepants', The Joker from Batman: The Animated Series, or Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, to one deep and gravelly as Batman himself from Batman: The Animated Series, Scar from The Lion King or Sam Fisher from the first 5 Splinter Cell video games (these are simply popular examples to give an idea, and far from my limit). I have a great amount of passion and imagination I put into any character that I'm bringing to life, and want to give such a sense of it, that it leaps out of the animation at the viewer and instills a true identity to the character. Having an acute sense of emotional understanding is another aspect of creating a character's identity that I strive to bring to the table. I admittedly aim more for roles based in animation (TV/film) and video games, but do not shy away from more voice over, audio-book, or commercial based roles- any opportunity to improve my skills and experience, I take on seriously. Specific accents that I have a knack for include: Australian, British, French, German, Irish, US Cajun (Creole, Bayou), US New England (Boston, Providence), US New York (New Jersey, Bronx, Brooklyn), US South (Deep South, Dixie, Delta), US South West (Texas), US West Coast (California, Portland)
