Male voice, early to mid-40s, Italian-American North Jersey accent. Deep, grounded tone with a slightly gravelly texture. Speaks in a measured, deliberate cadence with natural pauses, as if carefully choosing words. Carries a quiet authority—calm on the surface but with underlying tension and volatility. Delivery feels heavy, introspective, and emotionally layered, shifting between controlled calm and sudden bursts of intensity. Keep it conversational, slightly weary, and powerful without sounding theatrical.
