Overall, I have a youthful sound, which can be tailored to the needs of the project. Straightforward and charming for commerical and narrative reads, quirky for more specific commericals, snarky and humorous for commericial, animated and videogame projects (this personality is one that I get called in for a lot). Overall, I'm highly versatile and have a strong ear for mimicry and accents - I've had to do large numbers of voices for the animated shows I've worked on.
My singing voice is technically a 2nd tenor, although I'm rangy. Sound quality can be similar to Matthew Broderick, but I also specialize in character voices and accents for musicals, along the line of Robin Williams. High - C/C# in chest, up to F/G in Falsetto, low note G
