Roy Law | Voice over actor

About Roy

Member sinceJul 9, 2010

My voice? Think the male equivalent of Patsy Stone (Absolutely Fabulous) rather than Patsy Kensit! It is the 0845 number of voices (strictly Non-Geographical, it used to be called RP or Received Pronounciation) plus some interesting resonances. Crystal clear enunciation at all speeds from the measured delivery of BBC4 to the speed and impact of CNN. "You really involved all the spectators ... even the face painter in the far corner of the field heard every word and said how much she had enjoyed the soft spoken words." (Wendy Herbst, Polo Wicklow, August 2011) "Thank you very much for being a brilliant commentator ..." (Polo Manager, June 2010) "Roy's commentating ... was fantastic. Many people attending were new to the game but Roy managed to combine an informative introduction to the rules with lots of humour and thoroughly enhanced the enjoyment of the day for everybody!" (Organizer, La Chamiza Wine Picnic & Polo Day, June 2008) "... training in the office on using the telephone ... he was really great and highly recommend him" (MD, Communications Company) Charitable activities include regular contributions to the Audio Internet Reading Service of Los Angeles (AIRS-LA), and regular polo commentaries for the Heaton-Ellis Trust (research into MND).

- Experience, training, and equipment
  My voice has mainly been used over PA systems on-course at polo matches, cross-country events, agricultural shows and horse shows. I have also trained others to use good vioice technique when answering the telephone. Sometime amateur actor (best review ever was for my Spanish Ambassador in "A Man for All Seasons", most enjoyable part Father Callifer in "The Potting Shed"); writer and performer of humorous verse. Day job proofreader and trouble-shooter for accounting systems and databases (I'm told my voice sounds particularly sexy when talking about them). My only formal qualifications are in theoretical physics! Vocal coaching from Dr Margaret Lobo, Jayne Marshall, and Christian Fellner. Mics: Rode NT1-A or Shure SM59 with Focusrite Scarlett 22, Shure PG48 with MXL Mic Mate Pro. Platforms - PC and Mac. Editors - WavePad Master, Audacity, and Twisted Wave. Plus an Acoustic Solutions PIRMH-2 radio mike (which I bring to some events for commentary work over PA systems) and a Skytronics HC280 electret condenser shotgun mike. Misc: Baffles and pop screens. In my extensive commentary work over PA systems I befriend audiences and help them enjoy the event as much as I do.
