Voice Description

I have a deepish voice and can change the way it works depending on the job in question. My voice can be authoritative, business-like, warm, friendly, sexy, sensual, silly, informative, fun. I have a neutral British accent, but can adapt to imitate regional accents if required. I've narrated a lot of fairy tales and can adapt my voice to the different characters if need be. I'm bilingual in Castilian Spanish, although I have a slight foreign accent.

My Voice Experience

I have used my voice for a variety of different projects including several corporate videos for different industries. Also I am actively involved in an on-going project for www.kidskioske.com as narrator and co-narrator of a large selection of fairy tales used in educational applications for IOS and Android platforms. From 2008 to 2010 I actively participated in 3 different weekly radio programmes, lending my voice to jingles, sweepers, etc., as well as occasionally presenting some programmes in Spanish.
I was also involved in a month long project, translating all text for voiceover and narrations for a new Interpretation Centre for tourists in a historical village in Spain, carrying out the voiceover from Spanish to English of a historical video of a dramatic nature.

My Training

9 months radio and narration course (2006)- Comunicación y Práctica, Madrid, Spain.(course in Spanish)
3 months phonetics and narration course (2007) - Comunicación y Práctica, Madrid, Spain (course in Spanish).
6 months voiceover (dubbing) course (from English into Spanish) with Fernando Acaso Academy (2008)
1 month audiovisual translation course (2011), (from English into Spanish), Cálamo & Cran, Madrid, Spain.
1 month intensive refresher voiceover (dubbing) course (2011)with Fernando Acaso Academy.

My Studio Equipment

I have a modest home studio which allows me to produce basic, high class narrations. I have a RODE NT2A microphone and an M-Audio sound card. I use the Adobe Audition software to produce my work.

Additional Skills

Since I live in Spain, I have often found that the texts I receive to narrate in English are very low quality and need correction or re-translation. Therefore I offer my clients a translation service of texts to be recorded at a reasonable rate. I also work as a general freelance translator when I am not recording.

I previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 21 years. The company was specialized in allergy and immunology which has afforded me an excellent background in the medical field, especially regarding biology, allergy, allergens, and immunology, so medical narration presents no problem for me.
