Radio, Theatre, Television and Live Presentation work in front of live audiences.
I have done extensive voice work for clients in various areas including Telecommunications (MOSSEL – DIGICEL, FLOW & LIME), Retail Food (TANG, GRACE KENNEDY, KRAFT FOODS, YOPLAIT Caribbean Breast Cancer Campaign, Tastee, XLCR), Beverage (LASCELLES WINES AND SPIRITS - Angostura Brand; DIAGEO - Guinness and Heineken Brands, APPLETON JAMAICA RUM), Financial Institutions (BANK OF NOVA SCOTIA, FIRST GLOBAL BANK, Jamaica National), Appliances, Furniture and Household Items (SINGER), Educational (Heart Trust NTA), Medical (National Health Fund) and many more
My forte is being able to assume any character for a presentation and capture the essence of any message that needs to be conveyed. I can bring a script to life. I have done -
• Radio Specials - Write copy and narrate for several radio specials (e.g. Entertainment News, Celebrity Birthdays), delivering a blend of foreign and local accents, spiced with ad lib commentary that grabs the audience and keeps them ‘locked’.
• TV Specials - wrote copy and narrated several specials such as ‘Under the Law’.
• Telephone ‘message on hold’ for Cable & Wireless Telecommunications company, and several insurance companies
• Several PSAs (e.g. Jamaica Public Service Company, National Health Fund and the National Water Commission).
• Voice Campaign for the National Health Fund – official voice of the campaign to make Jamaica into a healthier nation via radio and TV spots, and a series of radio docudramas.
• Commercials – Voice talent for many radio and TV commercials in Jamaica, some of which have been aired in Jamaican diaspora markets overseas such as New York, South Florida and Toronto. Ads include Digicel, Cable & Wireless, Bank of Nova Scotia, First Global, Margaritaville Entertainment Complex, Grace Kennedy (aired in Canada and in the Caribbean), Dominos Pizza, Bill Express, Singer Electronics and Appliances, Jamaica National Building Society (aired in Canada, Caribbean and USA).

My acting career started in 1999 with Theatre (I have worked on major productions with the top, recognized talent in Jamaica), soon there after I started film in a local soap opera in Jamaica (Royal Palm Estate) that is now shown in the Caribbean, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States (in select markets).

Unique talents –
• Able to read audiences quickly and captivate them
• Good vocal range – able to vocalize scripts so that they are appropriate for the target audience of the product that is being advertised.
• Specialist in all variations of the Jamaican and Caribbean accents, and able to mix them seamlessly with perfect British English, American English, Spanish and other accents, jumping back and forth with ease – an intriguing talent that attracts attention.
• Work well in highly stressful situations. Always able to improvise without rehearsal or preparation. Often called at the last minute to emcee, host shows or do interviews, and often hosts shows without seeing the script.
Known for my ability to conduct provocative interviews that enlighten with a unique style of keeping audiences engaged and entertained. Whether I am doing serious biographical interviews, using my vocal wizardry in a commercial or written dexterity to copywrite, I am the consummate professional. For me it is all about the arts with potions of science.
