Voice Description

During the explosion in real estate in Dubai, I was in great demand for real estate promotional DVDs. I have also recorded radio commercials for international banks and insurance companies. In other words, my voice is appreciated for its warm sincerity and maturity.

On the other hand, I have recorded the narration for a series of extreme sports - a project that required a vocal vibrancy set against pounding rock music.

I have done Italian accents (mostly for Italian restaurants), French accents (mostly for French restaurants), Scottish accents and Irish accents.

Not forgetting good old "cockney"!

My Voice Experience

I did my first v/o 26 years ago while working for the English Language radio service in Doha, Qatar.

I continued to worked as a part-time v/o up until 10 years ago when I started pursuing v/o work on a full-time basis in Dubai.

It was a time of huge expansion in the U.A.E. economy and there was no shortage of work, particularly in the field of video narrations for the real estate sector.

A few months ago I made the decision to move to Philippines and set-up my own home studio. Thanks to the internet and my professional reputation, I still do work for my old clients in Dubai while building a clientele internationally.

My Training

My original degree was in Business Administration and Management (many years ago).

My training in the field of v/os was very much of the on-the-job variety.

However, I also moved into the field of radio journalism as well as being active in the theatre.

Most of the last 10 years has been spent behind a microphone.

My Studio Equipment

My microphone is a Rode NT2-A professional large capsule studio mic.

My studio is also equipped with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro sound card and Cool Edit Pro software.

Additional Skills

My passion is vocal harmony singing and in my spare time I perform with like minded individuals or, if alone, using multi-tracking facilities in my studio to create my own harmonies.
