VOICE DESCRIPTION
I can quite literally be ANY voice-over, accent, or character you need.
If it's a simple announcer: I have a clear, concise delivery to my voiceover that has modern character with a relatability that makes people trust my voice talent.
It it's character voice overs you want: I was raised on Saturday morning cartoons and love to BE everything from Barney Rubble to Scoobie, Mickey, and a plethora of "any characters" like "Nerdy Guy" or "Big Dumb Jock" et cetera. I consider myself a voice actor
If it's Narrations your looking for in a voice over talent: I have a natural and realistic diction that makes my reads flow and seem very "normal" to the ear rather than over pronounced and unsure as is common.
HISPANIC voice over jobs are no trouble either since I am a New York born Puerto Rican who speaks Spanish fluently.
If it's accent voice-overs or accented voice reads: I do a variety of natural accents: British (Region specific), Australian, New Zealand (yes there IS a difference), German, Russian, French, India, African, Spaniard, Mexican, Italian...basically anything you can imagine.
