Voice Description

As an actor I am well used to matching the tone and style of the voice to the need of the character, from the very subtlest of nuances to more robust accents needed for cartoons, animation or video games. My natural pitch is warm and sincere and is light baritone to tenor, although I can go deeper if required.

My Home Base

Highworth Wiltshire, United Kingdom

Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

My natural voice is RP but as I was born in Wiltshire my native accent is West Country; I have a good ear for any accent from the UK or overseas, specifically English speaking countries such as the USA, Australia or South Africa. I speak French and German and can even manage a few words of Greek. I am also happy to use other voice types to match a given brief, from Noel Coward to cartoon characters.

My Voice Experience

I have worked as a voice over artist for the Discovery Channel, voicing various characters in a narrative style. I have done some radio work and am keen to do more. I also help a local studio by voicing work for their own pitches for drama, narrative and corporate work.

My Training

I have been trained by Elizabeth Gradwell of the New Era Academy of Speech and Drama, Roger Jenkins of the Bristol Old Vic and the BBC and have attended workshops with Cicely Berry of the RSC.

My Studio Equipment

I use a broadcast quality Samson mic linked directly to a lap top to provide line input and I use Adobe Audition to 'clean' sound and provide either wav or mp3 files as required.

Additional Skills

Before turning professional as an actor I worked in the advertising industry as a copywriter and then as an account manager, so I am well used to making presentations; in fact I trained junior account executives in Presentation Skills and the use of the free voice to emphasise key selling points in a persuasive and sincere manner.
