Hi everyone and welcome to my Bio. My name is Omar and I was born and raised in Miami Florida. When I was thirteen my voice dropped dramatically. It's funny because my voice never really went through a "cracking" phase. By the time I was a freshman in high school I was able to impersonate my father whenever teachers would call (a very useful skill I exploited on more occasions than I'd like to admit). As I got older it gained more bass and remained warm and deep. Whenever I read to my youngest sibling a childrens book before bed, the tone of my voice (soft and soothing) would ease him to sleep before the book reading is even done. Having younger brothers has taught me to have fun with cartoon and character voices. I'm often referred to as the "Mel Blanc" of the family. This is what I LOVE to do. It's where i have the most fun and I let the character free and take them to fun places. Playing these characters/cartoons and doing lite impressions lifts my spirits and brightens my day. Who wouldnt have fun doing Bullwinkle, Donald Duck, Humphery Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Peter Lori, Boris Karloff, Beetlejuice (to name a few). Just listen to some of them on my Demos Page and I'm sure a smile will creep on your face. Having been born in the States my English is accentless, however I really enjoy immitating some of my recently arrived cuban friends and family with a heavy cuban accented english (it's how I learned to speak as an "intriguing Latin Lover" sounding like "The Most Interesting Man in the World) And being a huge movie buff has helped me imitate the stereotypical voices of certain kinds of people (Jackie Mason, Joan Rivers). I believe I have a range of voices in me to satisfy your project needs. And remember, the sooner we begin a professional relationship, the sooner we can have fun, see the your project through and succeed together.
