Voice Description

My vocal range and acting ability, is what it's all about. I have been awarded the Goldie Award for Best Commercial Talent twice. I have voiced many, many commercials - written & voiced many jingles. My Online studio offers 32 bit, digital stereo sound, with multi track facilities to 120 digital tracks! Any amount of effects & onboard choices to enhance your vocal choices.
We offer an impressive selection of microphones to grab the 'right' sound you're after.
Any amount of narrative & 'straight' read styles - in any vocal pitch you wish. Any amount of power, presence, warmth, cold, hard, soft - we are actors, and know all about the correct use of vocal expressions.

Character voices - hundreds of them!
We especially love new and different voices. We take the time to develop beyond your expectations.

Voice-work is our life. It's an honour to be of service.
