Service Description
I'm multilingual and do a number of different accents in different languages. (NB: Not all are listed in my languages listings which limits me to 5 languages. Also, I like to give my clients several takes of their script (contingent on length) so they have options to choose from. I adapt my voice to the "intentionality" of the narration. If it's serious, I sound serious. If it's fun and playful, that's what I'll be. If the script requires an authoritative tone, then I'll sound savvy and worldly. Another special service I can provide is coming up with "quick jingle tunes" (a cappella) in any of the 5 languages I speak fluently (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian & French).
