Voice Description

I voice adverts (broadcast across the UK on over 50 radio stations) in a young, accessible and friendly voice with mature delivery.

On hit music stations, this is neutral in class and region and delivered with a sense of humour, whereas on speech stations I use a more serious and assured voice whilst maintaining warmth.

For promotional material, including shows made for JCB and Fun Radio, and trails for XFM, I keep an approachable and developed sound, whilst adapting region, authority and sincerity based on client demand.

My spoken voice is in the baritone range (I'm also a professional singer).
