My name is Lawrence Payne, and I'm a native English-speaking American with significant voiceover experience. Having grown up in Southern California, I'm accent-neutral but, as a natural mimic, I can produce character voices, accents and comedic or dramatic content. I've done industrial presentations for Toshiba America and other companies, as well as online presentations for Mass Mutual Life Insurance. I've done radio spots--the first being for a San Francisco jeweler in 1981--and, prior to that, a contest-winning concert review for KNAC-FM in my hometown of Long Beach. Additionally, I've done help menus for European and British companies, a meditation guide for a Zen Buddhist monk, and various other things. All this talent is somewhat heredity I guess, given that my sister is a regular cast member on "The Simpsons."
