I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
Been acting and doing voices since I was a child, and upon entering my second childhood {if I ever left the first} decided to focus on voice acting as my primary vocation. Have done very little paying jobs, still a newbie, taking classes from the best. Bob Bergen, Pat Fraley, Marc Graue, Marc Cashman, MJ Lallo, Bill Holmes, Joyce Castellanos, Ned Lott, etc . . .
LANGUAGES
English only
{Many years ago was conversant in Japanese and Russian, therefore very good with pronunciations, but have lost ability to 'speak' them . . . }
VOICE DESCRIPTION
Lyric baritone, in musical terms, warm, deep, resonant, authoritative, engaging, and sincere, are the qualities of my 'money/commercial' voice. Animation is a specialty, and I'm able to create and maintain multiple character voices rapidly.
DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions
Brit, cockney, german, russian, indian, irish, scottish, mid-west, new york, deep southern and other dialects { a natural talent, but enhanced by work with Pat Fraley, Phil Proctor and others}. Characters in abundance {more than I can count and capable of creating more as needed almost instantly}. Impressions and Voice Match capabilities, again, natural, but enhanced by work with some amazing teachers and coaches.
VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM
Senior Male, Middle Age Male, Middle Age Female, Young Adult Male, Teenage Boy
AUDIO DELIVERY METHOD
AIF, MP3, WAV
EQUIPMENT
A studio full of mics, recording gear ranging from R-to-R tapes to Apple iMac {was a recording engineer many years ago, as well as a multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter}, inboard and outboard gear, etc . . .

Hi Michael,
Wishing you the very best, Happy Birthday!!! Enjoy.
Best Regard,
I was glad you decided to join VU too. Jonah got to me too:-) I just set mine up this week and fiddle with it daily. I spent much of yesterday looking into agencies and what they want from us. Looks like it is all pretty standard. I was surprised to learn than a couple did not want MP3 demo formats. One thing I started up yesterday was writing my VO resume and creating an introductory type cover letter for submissions. Fun stuff :-) Keep in touch, Jeanne Whitehouse
