I have a very deep voice which I understand is both soothing and at the same times projects confidence and authority. My natural style of speaking is suited to unscripted story-telling I improvise very well on many subjects I am familiar with and lecturing or public speaking comes very naturally to me and usually is received very well (though these are on subjects I am very familiar with e.g. conservation, humanitarian or environmental issues, ethics, politics, science etc.). A potential weakness may be that I do not deliver strictly structured scripts as well at short notice; however with time to practice I believe this would not be a great issue. I seem to be able to inspire, motivate and educate people when speaking, though this may be due to fluency in my subject matter - I have always felt that it was in large part due to the impact my voice has on audiences. At the same time I am not a professional voice-over artist and more than rusty at delivering scripts; however when I do radio interviews or the like - the quality of my voice is almost always remarked on.
Lastly any speaking fees I might be able to generate in voice-over work would be given entirely as a donation to one of the numerous environmental or orangutan charities I work with or have founded.
