My Voice Experience

I have extensive experience in voiceover work. I began in 1998 when I did a spoof news report on Cable TV, namely Pathe-tic News where I played the main role of Trev (as in Trevor McDonald). In the same year, I played the main role in a children's TV animation programme called Eric's Phone.

The following year, I did various projects including some extensive factual voiceover for BBC Newsnight on BBC2 TV. I also did some extensive factual voiceover for Ikhlas Productions for Islam TV - it was very factual and informative.

Having done the Guinness TV ad in 2000, I played a featured rapper (was on all the posters, beer mats etc.) for the Danny Boy campaign. The following year, I played a Session Producer for T&T (sponsers of Popstars). I have done a great deal of narration and jingles recently, including being a live commentator/ presenter for 2+2 (in-house training video).
