British, English,

I did my first v/o 26 years ago while working for the English Language radio service in Doha, Qatar. I continued to worked as a part-time v/o up until 10 years ago when I started pursuing v/o work on a full-time basis in Dubai. It was a time of huge expansion in the U.A.E. economy and there was no shortage of work, particularly in the field of video narrations for the real estate sector. A few months ago I made the decision to move to Philippines and set-up my own home studio. Thanks to the internet and my professional reputation, I still do work for my old clients in Dubai while building a clientele internationally. My original degree was in Business Administration and Management (many years ago). My training in the field of v/os was very much of the on-the-job variety. However, I also moved into the field of radio journalism as well as being active in the theatre. Most of the last 10 years has been spent behind a microphone. My microphone is a Rode NT2-A professional large capsule studio mic. My studio is also equipped with an M-Audio Fast Track Pro sound card and Cool Edit Pro software. My passion is vocal harmony singing and in my spare time I perform with like minded individuals or, if alone, using multi-tracking facilities in my studio to create my own harmonies.
