I've voiced for these organisations and, literally, hundreds of others - big and small - over the 30+ years I've been voice-overing for a living - and I still voice for many of the abovementioned organisations today. From "Fred's Fish & Chip Shop" type radio ads, to in-depth highly technical A/V narrations (some with many unusual or foreign words, names and places), explainers, corporates, documentaries and e-learning, and from straightforward on-hold/IVR messaging to in-depth on-going worldwide developmental projects for the likes of IBM - there's not much I haven't voiced. No academic qualifications whatsoever - dropped out of high school age 16! Neither have I ever had any vocal training. I have, however, sung in every kind of pop/rock/punk/covers/indie-type band I can think of since the late 70's, and up until I left Australia in late 2013, I sang lead vocals with two 20 piece Jazz/Swing Big Bands. I've been a radio DJ, Presenter, Broadcaster, Newsreader, Journalist and Station Manager as well as Music Director for the Perth branch of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. During my radio days - 1979 to 1996 - I've probably performed just about every job from making coffee to Production, Programming and Management! I run an iMac Pro, with Twisted Wave and assorted software, hooked into an Apogee Duet interface and my current mic of choice is the Aston Spirit. I have ipDTL/ISDN, Source-Connect and SKYPE recording and listening-in facilities (along with several other VOIP's, depending on what the studio, agency or client requires), and can voice from anywhere, anytime for anyone. All of my voice-over work I record, edit and send myself. I always record flat EQ with zero processing, limiting or compression. Standard recording format is WAV, with most other formats available and, for larger files, I use WeTransfer, DropBox or any other FTP specified. I offer proofing, grammatical and punctuation correction facilities, if required, at a small additional fee to be negotiated, depending on the job. From time to time, I write copy/scripts/narratives and offer advice on existing scripts. In fact, I've written everything from scripts (for a living), to poetry and lyrics, and have sung in any number of cover, pop, rock, punk and indie bands since I joined my first band far too long ago to remember!
