Voice Description

My own voice is young, enthusiastic and clear, with a fairly neutral British accent. It has been described as being well-spoken without being alienating. I am very flexible and sensitive to the needs of different voice requirements and quite comfortably perform anywhere on a scale from modern London to traditional RP.

I am an excellent character actor, able to perform many accents, and also many more extreme cartoon-style voices. I am also an excellent impersonator and mimic.
