Description

My voice is mid pitch and versatile in tone, from hard edged and direct to conversational and friendly. My experience as a comedian means my timing is always spot on :) and my background in acting means I respond quickly to direction whilst always sounding natural.

I have worked extensively in all areas of the industry as well as working in comedy both as a stand-up and a writer. I am also an experienced, live 'Voice of God', having voiced major events for clients including Adecco and Waitrose and even working with Sir Lenny Henry at this years HSJ Awards.

I have a BA Hons in Acting from Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama and I have been working as a voiceover for more than 20 years.

Pro studio with ISDN, Source Connect and Pro-Tools. Any and all questions and enquiries welcome.
