Natalie Howard

Although I am from New Jersey (born and raised), I have a nice smooth neutral accent, not a very heavy Northern dialect and can fluctuate it to light, medium, or heavy depending upon the audience (and the situation); I actually have a more Mid-western (neutral tone) that doesn't depict any dialect, but provides good clear and effective communication. I am a happily married mother of 21 years and enjoy family and home. I also have the awesome challenge of dwelling with and raising 3 teens and one pre-teen who allow me the experience of practicing many voice auditions in the privacy of my own home! This is where I believe I've learned many of my voice variations! Life experience is our best teacher! I am proper in speech and thrive on using good grammar, vocabulary, and vernacular that prompts wholesome conversation. I am very serious in nature, but I'm also an athlete and I love to laugh and have fun. I can also utilize my voice in the following ways: Announcer, Sports Coach, School teacher, Young--Middle-aged Caucasian family "mom/wife", young--middle-aged African-American "mom/wife", "white girl" northern and southern dialects, "ghetto girl" northern African-American teen, Northern Caucasian teen Southern and southern "hick" dialects, diva, young Hispanic male, young hispanic female,hip-hop DJ, rapper, female jock, Black religious church member, mad Scientist, corny comedian, sassy moma, Customer service rep, telephone operator
