Training & Qualifications
Being both an actor and musician, there are things which I've learned from those two arts which help me in this one. Acting has helped me to allow for improved diction, phrasing, intonation and so forth when learning/speaking foreign languages. On top of this my training as a musician has also come into play in regards to foreign languages. Along with this comes a naturally innate ability to do accents. I've had this ability since I was a young child,a and now I figure it's time to allow it to help others in real-world situations.
Availability & Preferences
I'm very flexible in regards to this. I live in the Mountain Time zone, and I'm sure we can work something out between us!
