One day I had to be Harry Connick Jr, and the next Paul McCartney, Paul Rogers. Robert Plant, or the Chi Lites. Some of the jingles I did were Transformers Gen 2, Aliens 3 the voice and Space Marines, BC Powder, Matchbox Lightning Key Cars, Bryans Hot Dogs, Vintage Gourmet Ice Cream, Bealls Dept Stores, Coors, New England Telephone, and many more.
