Shavon Walker

I roleplay a young princess of African descent, raised in Victorian London, every year in San Francisco's Dickens Fair. Since my accent must be convincing, I work with other cast members to cultivate my BRITISH LONDON accent from this era. I also studied French for twelve years, so my PARISIAN accent is good--so good that native speakers have complimented me on it! I grew up in California during the 1980's, so I do an excellent VALLEY GIRL, and since I was born and raised in Oakland, a standard young URBAN WOMAN/GIRL can be done as well. Last but not least, my private school education gives me the background for a NEUTRAL or SUBURBAN accent.

I'm a natural ham and exhibitionist, and I love attention. This makes me perfect for voice acting. As a child, I loved identifying celebrity voices in the show "Happily Ever After: Fairytales for Every Child." I did voice demos and ran a late night radio show in college, and did a recording of adult stories for a Christmas gift one year. The stories, of course, were very well received. Voice One, San Francisco, 2001 KUOP late night DJ, University of the Pacific Dickens Fair workshops and performances, 2006-present Freelance writer and journalist I have a home studio, which consists of a Logitech microphone, ACM stereo headphones, and a room in which to record. I can use Audacity and Ableton Live for recording and editing. I am also an award winning public speaker, former English teacher and current lover of words and books.
