Some major companies I have worked for include British Rail, British Transport Hotels, The National Computing Centre (where I was organiser, presenter and chairman at Workshops, Seminars and Conferences) and the Civil Service (where I was a Presenting Officer representing the Secretary of State at Tribunals) Epic Films, Nuffield Health and Tangwynlais Orchestra._, I was privately trained for and obtained a Gold Medal for acting from LAMDA (The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) and have attended many courses in Presentation using various visual aids and have attended a Television Interviewing Course conducted by John Brand. Became involved in a Community TV project and learned to present in a 3-camera studio, dismantle and assemble cameras for outside broadcasts and compiled and presented several shows - both in studio and on location - broadcast on television. I have a computer-based Home Studio with a Rode Microphone and Focusrite Scarlett Interface and can record and edit voice files in several formats including WAV and MP3. I can produce Audition Clips from Clients' material and transmit via email, Wetransfer, Dropbox etc MP3/WAV voice samples available on request. I also have SKYPE and use Twitter and Facebook. Happy to use a local external studio if requested by a client. I worked as Presenting Officer for The Secretary of State at Medical Tribunals. I therefore have an insight and empathy with Medical, Legal and Technology matters giving me the ability to understand and present complex technical concepts with confidence and conviction. Also, as a Senior Consultant at the National Computing Centre I prepared, presented and chaired Conferences, Seminars and Workshops and am, therefore au fait with technical computing matters and terminology which I am experienced at putting across to a technical and/or lay audience. If you are unable to find a suitable tone or delivery type in my profile then please feel free to let me have a sample of the script you have in mind so that I can record it in my studio and submit it to you for your consideration in MP3, WAV or other format of your choice. Fast turnaround assured.
