Over the last two decades, I have been creating corporate video, high end presentations, interactive multimedia and delivering educational material for international companies such as Unilever, IBM, Cisco, Toshiba, Astra Zeneca, GSK, Orange, Syngenta, 3, and the list goes on. All this from a little office in the middle of a sunny garden in rural Berkshire surrounded by chickens, vegetables and family - the idyll of 'men in sheds'. Albeit, in this case, a very comfortable shed full of hi-tech wizardry. As time went by, so my 'stand-in' voice-overs became the final product, and I had more and more fun whilst recording them. So now I'm opening the doors to anyone who requires a clean, detailed and sans-serif voice that's well used to extremely technical language and all the medical terms... ... or any of the multitude of voices I've invented for my son's bedtime stories, for that matter. 20 years of television and media production, the Fuji Film Scholarship, a Media Studies 'degree', and the generous support of friends in the Radio and Voiceover industries. Microphones: - Neumann TLM103 Recording: - 2x MacBook Pro 2.5 GHZ 4 GB RAM - Edirol UA25 USB interface - Zoom H4n Software: - SoundTrack Pro - iZotope Ozone 4 Delivery: - MP3 (please specify bitrate and bit depth) - AIFF - WAV and Broadcast WAVE - AAC and podcast-ready formats - Ringtones, DVCAM, XDCAM, AC3, - Ogg, 3gp, anything you specify! I've come to voice-over work a little late and through a tortuous route. But glad to be here. So many times, I've needed a voiceover and dumped my own rendition in the edit in order to replace it later. So many times, the client was comfortable with it - just needed a bit of a scrub-up. Soon, it was all part of the service. I am still a professional editor, specialising in short form corporate and commercial work, but the trouble is I enjoy VO work too much to ignore. Right now, I can give you a good, tight technical read and work my way through the driest of material because that's what I've needed and what I've worked with for the last decade. Having upped the technical quality of my voiceovers, I'm going to expand the range and the variety of characterizations I can create for you.
