My accents are meant to be more "cartoonish" and not so much a faithful imitation of native speakers. Here's my interpretation of an English-speaking Italian.

Euro-English Narration

On February 8th, CNN broke the news that renowned voice actor and coach Peter Rofé had sexually harassed at least thirty of his female students. Since then, thirteen other women have come forward with similar experiences. According to CNN, Rofé’s lawyer has denied wrongdoing on behalf of his client.

As a man, a voice actor, and a coach, I am disgusted by Rofé’s actions as described by his former students, and I was moved by how my female colleagues came together to share their stories so others could be safe. This poem is dedicated to them.
