Biography
Ashton is a strong character actor and stand up comedian. Within him are endless character voices and personalities just chomping at the bit to be released into the world. From illiterate toddlers to elderly women. From speech impediments to mad scientists - Ashton has original voices and characters that will make your imagined world come alive.
As a Speech & Drama tutor and acting coach his voice also has a more serious side. A husky softness with an approachable sound and an enticing tone to appeal to an audience no matter the demographic. As a professional MC he knows how to speak in the corporate world just as easily as he entertains revelers at a birthday party.
No matter what you need - this is the voice to fulfill that need. A voice for every occasion.
