Voice Description

My voice is deep, warm and equally suited to both authoritative and more intimate one-on-one style reads. I do a few accents and am frequently hired for my High British. I can do conversational, man-on-the-street type spots as well as drier, factual reads (medical, legal, etc.). I also excel at witty, character-driven material.
