Illustrative words describing this actor's voice range (e.g. Boston & southern accents, conversational, announcer, etc.):
My voice ranges from world-weary traveler to bright and bouncy cheerleader! I have an extremely broad pitch range--3 octaves--from tenor to soprano (but don't ask me to sing in soprano, unless it is an unsympathetic character). I can read music, and like so many improvisers before me, love to combine a dialect with a vocal quality, such as an old Southern hooker, or a fat Russian spy, or a jumpy beagle from the Bronx. You should hear it.
