My Voice Experience

This is my first try at voiceover work!

My partner (who used to be an actress) persuaded me to "throw my hat into the ring" as she felt that I had a particularly interesting English voice with a very strong presentation, and she felt that I should try and capitalise on its intrinsic quality in this industry.

I am an experienced after-dinner speaker at mainly sporting functions, and am regarded as a very good joke-teller.

I was selected to play an aristorcratic Englishman in a Channel 4 reality TV programme "What the butler saw", where a dyfunctional family had to host a Whist evening in a sumtuous mansion, as one of their many tasks to win
a £50,000 inheritance.

I was invloved in the recent production of a DVD to be used for marketing the card game Bridge, and bringing this into the public domain in the same way as Snooker, Darts and Poker. I was selected not just as a Bridge player, but for my very clear diction and speaking voice.

My Training

I am educated to postgraduate level, and undertook my first degree at Edinburgh University.

I am currently involved in producing 2 British films for theatrical and DVD release.

My Studio Equipment

I do not have my own studio, but am able to requisition appropriate equipment through my contacts in the industry

Additional Skills

chip" company, and then as a self-employed
"headhunter"

3. 6 years as a founding Director of Brootal Icon
Ltd with producer responsibilities for 2 British

I am an extrovert and have a very social personality,
with a well-defined "sense of humour".

I play a lot of sport and am very much a "team player".
