My Voice Experience

Principally recording podcasts for Planet Technologies, delivering technical information to a specific market. The podcasts were single voice pieces describing a technology or service and extolling the benefits which could be gained from their adoption or use.

Typically between 5 and 10 minutes long I also undertook the audio branding aspects to ensure that a level of familiarity was established with the subscribed listeners.

My Training

No formal training in voice or studio working. This could be a problem for some, but I believe that it leave me open to a greater aspect of influence and inspiration.

Additional Skills

A longstanding career in technology requires the ability to absorb new information quickly.

I have a keen interest in gaming and write and review for a gaming web-site so have a clear understanding of what the differences are between the written and spoken forms are. This has helped a great deal in writing the podcast scripts to date.

I'm also a keen motorcycle rider and former (amateur) racer. This is about planning well forward but being fully accepting of being in the moment and 'feeling' rather than thinking.

I've been asked to present to large audiences on a number of occasions and understand what it means to be able to get the message across, but also to understand the level at which it must be pitched; too high or low and the audience is lost.
