I can mirror or echo many different styles, dialects, and accents with ease as I am a trained linguist and have a strong ear for the slightest differences in pitch or tone. Also, with an intermediate knowledge of Spanish, can do a 2nd language accent with that. In addition, even mirror an inner-city slang based dialect including the bad grammar that most often accompanies this. I can be a toddler or a very young girl and a much, much older female.

For a large technological/IT company in Seoul, South Korea, I have done many recordings for their services including instructional content for their phone customers, and numbers/data recording for other situations also for their phone-in clientele. I have also done work for web-based phonetics teaching for ESL students both here in Canada and in South Korea. This was both visual (for phonetics exercises) and audio of course as they were language training. As well, I've done numerous recordings reading children's stories, again for the ESL environment in Seoul. As I am both a linguist and a previous esl/english teacher, I have a natural, keen ear to intonation, punctuation, pronunciation and the like. I carry these things through in my own recording and reading where necessary with ease. I also have strong ear for the slightest differences in pitch or tone which allows me to mirror and/or vary my own voice very well. As well, it is done clearly and precisely and I am comprehended well by the audience. I have a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Linguistics which definitely is an asset, and as well, a minor in theater. Combining the both of them gave me much experience in the voice realm of things and Some skills that were extensively practiced include; Readings aloud of both the emotional and stoic. We also did many exercises in voice presentation, recordings, pitch, singing, intonation and the like. I am very adept with professional presentations of both of the visual and audio nature. We did many exercises in voice presentation, recordings, pitch, singing, intonation and the like. In addition, extensive teacher training has also contributed to my great voice over capabilities. I do not have my own studio but have travelled to do work at other studios. I am able to acquire some equipment but mainly software programs are my past experience usage. I have a mac in my home office, which some voice over companies prefer and/or don't prefer. There are very good voice recording material(s) and resources within the mac computers. As well as a web camera which is worth mentioning as I've used it previously for other contracts. As I am both a linguist and a previous esl/english teacher, I have a natural, keen ear to intonation, punctuation, pronunciation and the like. I carry these things through in my own recording and reading where necessary with ease. Even in my second and third languages (spanish, mandarin, and korean) people/past employers tell me how well my accent is in that language as I can echo or mirror it exactly. Meaning I sound like a native speaker in said languages. I am also quite skilled and adept with professional presentations of both of the audio and visual nature. I strongly believe that in addition to the above mentioned training, that my extensive teacher training has also contributed to my great voice over capabilities.
