Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

I am from London, England, originally but have spent much time travelling the world. I'm happy to try any accent that's given to me. My best would include various English accents, Australian, American (New York) and perhaps South African. Let's try some cartoon voices too.

My Voice Experience

Working in BBC and Commercial radio (both local and national) I found myself recording voice overs on a frequent basis and eventually found myself a voice agent - Talkies Ltd.

Apart from voicing a multitude of programme trails and commercials I also appeared as myself in three BBC sit-coms, as a voice over.

I was a newsreader in "My Hero" and "Heartburn Hotel" and played a BBC Radio Five Live reporter (which I actually was at the time) in the very last episode of "2.4 Children".

My Training

High School Education (O'Levels)

I learnt most of my broadcasting skills, "on the job", back in the 1990's as a broadcaster with AA Roadwatch and then as a presenter and reporter in BBC Local Radio where I still work today.
