I have been doing impressions and voices since I saw my first cartoon (Loony Toons) and started making friends and family laugh impersonating Elma Fud and Sylvester the cat etc, then as I got older prank phone calls, my friends would always ask me to ring places because I was very good at making things up on the spot and doing different accents and characters, at 14 could impersonate an older male voice well enough to convince the school I couldn't make it in that day, AGAIN lol.
But then just last year I was running my recording studio and a client put me in touch with a women at the council who wanted a voice over recorded but couldn't find a voice or anywhere to record it, I offered my service and she jumped at it. From then on I've been looking for more work like this. To date I've only done little bits for hospital radio, uni radio council and arts council little things like that and I really really want to go further with this career.
I am a sound engineer by trade and have my Diplomas and over 5 years experience. I passed a course online with David Mellor in witched covered recording specifically for voice overs and what is needed in a voice over artist.
Then lots of recorded work for people.
Then in 2009 I did a small comedy course with the friends of the mirth and started doing stand up, which enabled me to use my talent and go on stage live and perform.
This gave me confidence in public speaking and made me practice my voice skills.
My own setup is Pro Tools HD 10 and various plugins as for equipment I own a range of mics and pre-amps but have good working relation ships with 2 studios within the area and can borrow almost anything.

The only thing I can say here is what I've already stated above really.
I am very new to this as you can probably tell and I am very eager for work of any kind so I can go further with this career.
I believe I would offer a wide variety of voices for many different projects at a very competitive price. just try me!
Also if you don't need or want my voice my engineering and editing skills are SECOND TO NONE.
Cheers
