I started making radio commercials in 1974...and I've won awards. In addition to being a respected radio presenter, I am also an experienced copywriter and commercials producer, winning Sony awards for Radio City in Liverpool and Radio Orwell in Ipswich. My voiceover, writing and production skills have created trailers, promos, competitions, programmes and features for a variety of tv and radio stations including Thames Television, BBC Radio One, Invicta Supergold and Two Counties Radio. My memorable audio productions are currently being created using Rode NT1A, Shure and Beyer microphones, Focusrite Scarlett Audio Interface and Audacity sound-editing software on iMac. My expertise is not restricted solely to the radio studio - I am also a qualified and experienced EFL teacher and, after teaching at a number of schools in England and Switzerland, had my own successful language school in Bournemouth. Therefore, I feel equally at home in the studio and the classroom - but between you and me, I have to confess to loving radio and music just a little bit more than teaching the Present Perfect!
