Skills

  • Public Speaking - can speak extemporaneously with great flexibility, adapting to any audience depending on what needs to be communicated I have never used cue cards, notes or teleprompters, whether delivering a lecture to students, or leading a values-centric workshop meant to empower women, or giving a speech as the Chief Guest at an important event like an international prize giving
  • Excellent, impeccable diction I lived and breathed elocution from my earliest days, and can also speak multiple English dialects, making my voice and speaking patterns as refined and elevated or as casual and conversational as the room requires
  • I have travelled to over 40 countries, by virtue of the fact that my family is in the Tourism and Hotel industries
  • As an Actor and Independent Filmmaker, I was officially eligible for Oscar and Golden Globe Nominations in 2021 for my feature film 'The Billionaire' I am exceptionally creative and know how to lead a team with great vision and profound imagination
  • As a Classical Baritone Singer, I was eligible for Grammy nominations in 2021 after releasing my first solo album 'Classical and Cool', and have done a Solo Concert at Carnegie Hall in 2019 where the Chief Guest was the Chef de Cabinet to the UN Secretary General I have rocksolid stage presence and showmanship and can keep any crowd going, using my well-honed performance skills - not only as a singer, but as a personality in general Any speech I give is treated with the same purpose and style that I would accord an operatic aria or musical number, and indeed my speech itself has been described as extremely melodious and mellifluous
