Voice Description

With a 'BBC Announcer' type voice, my words are clear, confident and 'straight'.
In addition, I have capabilities to add effects, music, echo, delay etc.
Some example effects:
'boxy/open-air/tunnel/auditorium/muffled/bassy/soft/deep/echoes' as well as a whole host of other special effects.

I will always send demo's of the work in progress, and as a first call I am more than happy to send you a short demo with your wording, if you give me some idea of the voice sound (+ effects if any) you are trying to capture.

My Voice Experience

I was spotted by Olympic Radio for my voice, and all so I have gained more and more experience as each project was completed.
It's rare for two projects to ever be the same, and something is even now still learnt, as a new request for something different takes shape.

I work for the Olympic Media Group, producing and narrating all kinds of voiceovers for many different subjects and media outputs, from DVD Documentaries to single Title Stabs.

My Training

I started producing voiceover jingles for what was then 'Steve Elliott's Upfront Music Show' radio program.
This went on to progress into what is today 'Olympic Radio' (owned by Olympic Media Group whom I work for to this day).

Highly self-taught to an excellent standard, and with full use of the Olympic Radio studio's, I have learnt from many years of hand-on experience.

My Studio Equipment

I have the full use of the Olympic Radio studio, either in-person, or remotely if a client needs some minor adjustment that is required that can be done electronically.

Notwithstanding the Olympic Radio studio, I also have a Sony ECM-MS907 Stereo Mic, a Shure BG5.1 Vocal Condenser, and a Shure SM-58.

Again, even without the Olympic Radio studio, I still have the use of Cool Edit 2000 Pro, and Adobe Premiere if required.

Additional Skills

I have narrated many varied and often obscure voiceover pieces for Olympic Media's Video department, from documentary in-house training DVD's for the NHS, to simple Title stabs.
With such clients as:

The Olympic Media Group - Producing and narrating all kinds of voiceovers for many different subjects and media outputs.

Olympic Radio - for voice stabs, jingles and outside broadcast reports.

Missing Link Support Services Ltd. - For a DVD Documentary.

Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists - For an -in-house training DVD.

Lancashire Care NHS Trust for 'Blackburn and Burnley Psychological Services for Children, Young People and Their Families' - For a Training DVD for Psychologists.
