Voice Description

An engaging British voice. Think BBC news - composed, reassuring, authoritative and sincere.

A neutral English accent varying from calm and gentle, through authoratitive and professional to more urgent, even hard-sell.

Especially suited to e-learning, documentaries and technical narration.

Comments from clients have included: "engaging and natural", "sounds like he really understands all our technical jargon" (I didn't!) and "trustworthy - a safe pair of hands".
