My Voice Experience

Having originally trained as an actor, I first started recording voice overs for a number of student and low budget productions. I was then offered a job for a telephone media company, where I interviewed various celebrities. This led to a job with Chrome Dreams, recording rock documentaries for release on CD.

I work regularly for a multimedia company voicing everything from educational and training CD-Roms to corporate websites.

For over two years I was the UK voice for Dutch shopping channel TelSell. My job was to re-voice the US infommercials for the British market. I was emailed scripts and a small video. I then recorded the voice to time, edited it and sent back the voice as .wav files.

More recently, I have been recorded commercials for a company that specialise in promoting films, DVDs and games for a number of clients.
