please could you mind to let me know your opinion about my voice material whether I can use it as a voice actor or not ? so please send me your email to let me send my voice demos

Hello Ahmed
The short term effect is that it will lower the pitch of your voice and give it a "sexier" or husky quality. The long term effect is that it will diminish your pitch range (particularly the upper range) and it could kill you with various forms of cancer and other diseases.
There were no audio attachments with this message so I cannot appraise them.
Best of luck,
Roland
