Voice Description

My normal voice is pretty unattractive and run of the mill, it's when I modify my voice/accent that I really come into my own.

I can do many different accents with an rare authenticity that is akin to greats like Alistair McGowan and Rory Bremner.

I have done a lot of vocal work for animations, a testament to my range would be creating 13 different character voices for one single production, with not one person who's ever seen it believing they were all me.

I am an experienced actor as well, and I thrive when involved in character creation. My vocal skills can truly shine when required to come up with a sound or a style that is quirky and unique.
