Voice Description

A warm, friendly but authoritative voice. After 27 years as an actor, flexibility's the key; from hard-sell corporate to gentle, sympathetic retiree, from the wacky heights of crazy cartoon characters to soulful or movie-trailer depths.

My Voice Experience

27 years as a professional actor, including 5 years in South Africa and 12 in Canada. Throughout my career, I've used my voice in theatre, film, TV and radio, doing commercials, voice-overs, ADR and corporate work.
Since 2005, I've been trying to do as much of my voice work as possible at home in my dedicated studio. I'm getting highly skilled at the technological side but maintain that my primary weapon is my voice, which I can twist and bend and shape to suit your requirements.
Voice clients include British Airways, British Gas, ELS/TheMainEvent, Studio Bard, Coronation Street, Remote Viewing Products, BBC, CBC and SABC.
