C.J. Fidela

I am an amateur actor, and professional musician. Proficient in dialects, specifically high British and Scottish, and Irish to a lesser extent. I am greatly interested in voice-over work, specifically in cartoons. Comedic work would be best suited for me, although drama is not out of the question.
