Cavan LEE Sears

I can sound like: A black Gangsta Rapper to Gandalf or Gollum (from Lord of the Rings). I can do Irish, English, Cockney (native London accept), American (California to Deep South y'all!). South African, Australian, Welsh, Scottish, Dubliner, Oldy-Worldy, Pompous-git, Cabaret drag-queen (ewww!), German, German-funny, French. Noo yoik (New York). I do shit-loads, I only need to listen to a person talk for about 2 minutes and I can mimic their dialect. I have a condition called Audio-Visual Synaesthesia which allows me to do this.

None. Absolutely none! I'm completely new in this line of work. I'm fresh. I used to teach for an IT company and discovered that people would listen to my voice and take in everything I was saying. I was theatrical in my delivery of technical material. People would say my voice was hypnotic! I am a Software Engineer and Web Middleware Specialist currently working for IBM - this is my day job. When I was learning a new programming language or anything technical, I would teach it to myself in a variety of different accents to 'make it stick'. Weird huh? I have a computer with a microphone and an internet connection. I can download any software that I need - provided it's not too esoteric! Like I said, Audio-Visual Synaesthesia which allows me to pick up accents; place appropriate sounds to characters (like in Games or Movies).
