- LANGUAGES
- English.
- VOICE DESCRIPTION
- Nicely seasoned (dry rub). Medium-rare. Never over cooked, though occasionally under booked. Best accompanied by a nice Temecula Valley Merlot. Versatile. My early years in personality-driven radio focusing on theater of the mind helped develep my ability to get into character and act with my voice, whether as a celebrity impression or as an original character. Susan Blu told me that I was "the best sounding elephant" she'd ever worked with. And apparently, she's worked with several. I'll bet she says that to all the circus animals.
- DIALECTS, Character voices and vocal impressions
- British, Irish, Russian (marginal), Australian, South African, French, German, South American, Asian Elephant
- VOICES I AM ABLE TO PERFORM
- Senior Male, Middle Age Male, Young Adult Male
- AUDIO DELIVERY METHOD
- ISDN, FTP, AIF, MP3, WAV
- EQUIPMENT
- A bunch of really neat stuff that photographs really well in low light conditions.
