Patti Savage

Most accents, regional or national. For example, Cornish, Scottish, Irish, Welsh, Northern, French. Most impersonations or charactersations, famous or not. I'm confident I can tackle anything handed to me to the best of my ability.

My whole career has been in television, starting in the Programme Planning Department of Westward Television in Plymouth, through to the Presentation Department. Finally I become a Continuity Announcer at Westcountry Television and Carlton for ITV, since 1996 (until ITV consolidated and moved to London). For fun, I joined Hospital Radio at Plymouth Hospital and managed my own show, including reporting on local events and anything newsworthy in the region. At school, I stayed on into the Sixth Form and achieved high standards in all my examinations. In television work, apart from announcing, I was used to scheduling/logging programmes and timing output down to the last split second and so have an extensive knowledge of television broadcasting in general. I have had radio experience but only via Hospital Radio, mentioned above. I trained myself really! I have taken part in Seminars conducting workshops all over the country as a Comedy Writer and Secretary to the Comedy Writer's Association of Great Britain, selling sketches to Britain and Germany. My voice has been well and truly heard over a period of years in one way or another! I do not have my own studio but know someone who does! I have no knowledge about audio engineering whatsoever, apart from very basic controls on a desk in a continuity studio. All I have at home is an mp3 recorder. I am used to addressing large numbers of people and enjoy communnication on any level. I have written numerous poems for children to perform in Drama Competitions and speeches for weddings and funerals. I enjoy writing. I am a digital artist and sell my work to Galleries here in Cornwall and also enjoy pen and ink drawing. I am a very creative person, used to peforming on all levels. I sing in a choir and act in the local theatre.
