Voice Description

A genuine BRITISH accent and a twinkle in the eye!
Plus a HOW TO guide to hiring me...

**NEWS**
Buzz: The Schools Quiz (Playstaton 2) for which I provide the Voice of the Questions was nominated for a BAFTA this year!

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
It's really simple, just follow my step by step instructions, and you have yourself a voice over!

You give me an idea of:
1) the length of the recording (in minutes or pages of 12 pt text)
2) the use of the project, i.e.national television commercial, voicemail,
website media.
And I'll provide you with a reasonable quote ASAP.

Then, if you're happy to go ahead, you'll provide me with details of the
format your require (MP3, Wav) and when you need it by. You can also
indicate the style you'd like, and if you've heard something on my reel
that's just right, you can tell me that too.

I can deliver audio by email, FTP, on a CD by post (but this can take some
time internationally) and accept payment by Paypal and Bank.

ABOUT ME

"You are the best!!
These will all be up on the Proficient site within
minutes, just in time for the official launch of the site.
Thank you so
much for your quick turn and great voice!!"
Mark Archer, Proficient Audio

DOCUMENTARY
I have plenty of experience in documentary voice over- my tone can vary from an enthusiastic academic, a serious business person or an accessible young person.Have a listen to the "Documentaries" voice reel to the right.
COMMERCIALS
I've also worked in commercials for radio and television- my voice reel on the right shows slinky, sexy sales pitches, a comic Londoner, a sincere appeal and a funky young make up commercial. I can adapt my accent to make it more or less standard and my tone is extremely versatile. I've been used in both the UK and US for commercials, and find my English accent is very marketable all over the world!

CORPORATE
I work regularly providing voice overs for corporate projects such as DVDs, language lessons, instructional videos, sales pitches and many many more.

ON HOLD
I've provided many many companies in the UK and abroad with clear, friendly on hold and voice mail greetings. If you'd like to hear some samples, please press 1. Oh, no, wait- just listen to the sample on your right...

CARTOONS, ANIMATION AND COMPUTER GAMES
My voice has become many different things over the years- I can do child and teenage voices, posh ladies, royalty, and many many more. I'm currently a computer in a shoot 'em up, a dragon helping with the alphabet, and the questioner in the latest of the cult series of Buzz games.
I can usually pull a few interesting ideas out of the bag, so whether you need a mad scientist or a talking banana- give me a call!
