ACCENTS VARIATE FROM BRITISH TO JAMAICAN TO ASIAN.

IN MY LIFETIME SO FAR, I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO DISPLAY MY TALENTS, VOCALLY. I HAVE DONE MANY PLAY NARRATIONS, LIVE SINGING IN FRONT OF CROWDS OF PEOPLE OR IN SMALL GROUPS, RECORDED. WHEN I WAS IN THE MILITARY AND WAS IN CHARGE OF COMMANDS, DOING DRILLS, OR CALLING CADENCES, I HAD TO GET IN THE MINDSET OF THE TOUGHEST, HARDEST, MEANEST DRILL SERGEANT ALIVE!! YOU SHOULD HEARD MY VOICE, LOUD STERN, MELODIOUS, SINGING AND INSPIRING TO ALL MY FELLOW SOLDIERS. AT MY CURRENT JOB THEY ALL ASK ME WHEN I GET THE PAGING SYSTEM AND MAKE COSMETICS ANNOUNCEMENTS,"WAS THAT YOU JOANNE? YOU SOUNDED SO GOOD,YOU SOUND LIKE A RECORDING,SO PREFESSIONAL!" I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE TO STEP OUT ON A LIMB AND SHOW NO BOUNDARIES WITH MY VOCAL EXPRESSION. DRAMA 3 YEARS IN A ROW IN HIGH SCHOOL, NO OFFICIAL COLLEGE COURSEWORK, JUST NATURAL ABILITY AND SELF TRAINING. I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD BY SO MANY PEOPLE SINCE I HAVE BEEN OF THE AGE OF 6 YEARS OLD THAT I HAD A TALENT AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE I WILL LOOK INTO GAINING MORE INFORMATION ON CLASSES AND EXTRA TRAINING. I LOVE STUDYING VOICES AND BECOME MORE ADVANCE AS TIME PASSES, AND I CATCH VERY EASILY WITH PROFICIENCY. RIGHT NOW I HAVE NO CHILDREN, I HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL AND NO RESTRICTIONS ON ANY TYPE OF VOICE OVER JOB, I CAN EVEN DO LARRY THE CABLE GUY! I WAS IN THE MILITARY FOR 10 YEARS, GOT OUT LAST YEAR, AND IT HAS TAUGHT ME SO MUCH, DISCIPLINE, FELLOWSHIP, AND TEAMWORK. DURING THAT TIME I'VE HAD TO GIVE CLASSES, TRAINING, AND ALSO WORK AS A MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER TO THOSE TROOPS WHO THOUGHT TO GIVE UP DURING WARTIME AND DO ACTIVIST WORK IN FAVOR OF THE TROOPS DURING TIMES OF MALTREATMENT. HONESTLY, BOOKWISE, AND COURSEWISE THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE WHO QUALIFY BETTER ON PAPER, BUT NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE MORE DRIVE, NATURAL TALENT AND ABILITY TO HANDLE THE STRESS, SWEAT AND TEARS THAT COME FROM STRUGGLING WITH A 50/50 OF MAKING IT OR NOT MAKING IT. BUT I AM HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND BE AN INSPIRATION FOR THOSE OUT THERE THAT DO NOT HAVE A DEGREE OR EXTENSIVE TRAINING. THANK YOU
