Stories have always been at the heart of who I am. Born in Scotland and now based in Canada, I have spent years bringing tales to life for audiences of all ages through live storytelling, festivals, historical events, medieval faires, cultural celebrations, guided walks, and stage performances. That same passion for story, character, and connection now fuels my voice-over work. My voice carries the rich tones of my Scottish heritage, with a natural warmth, authenticity, and versatility that can shift from trusted narrator and engaging storyteller to commanding warrior, mischievous rogue, or larger-than-life character. Whether you need compelling narration, audiobook work, character voices, commercials, tourism content, educational material, or promotional pieces, I focus on delivering performances that feel genuine, memorable, and alive. Years spent captivating live audiences have taught me that every script has a rhythm, every character has a voice, and every project deserves to be treated as more than just words on a page. My goal is simple: to create recordings that draw listeners in and leave a lasting impression. If you're looking for a voice that can bring depth, personality, and storytelling craft to your project, I'd be delighted to help tell your story. Voice Style: Warm • Authentic • Engaging • Scottish • Character-Driven • Narrative • Conversational • Dynamic • Professional • Versatile

  A versatile and expressive voice performer, I offer a broad range of authentic accents and character voices developed through years of live storytelling, stage performance, and audience engagement. My natural Scottish accent ranges from soft Highland warmth to the rich, rolling tones of the Lowlands. Character work is where I truly come alive. From wise old storytellers and rugged warriors to mischievous fae, gruff dwarves, tavern keepers, pirates, kings, villains, and larger-than-life fantasy characters, I bring personality, depth, and believability to every role. Years spent performing at medieval fairs, festivals, historical events, and storytelling gatherings have allowed me to develop a diverse catalogue of distinctive voices suited to audiobooks, animation, games, podcasts, and commercial projects. Whether you need a trusted narrator, a commanding hero, a sinister antagonist, or a cast of memorable characters, I deliver performances that are engaging, authentic, and rich with storytelling tradition.
- Experience, training, and equipment
  With more than fifteen years of experience captivating audiences through live storytelling, stage performance, and event hosting, I bring authenticity, energy, and narrative depth to every project. I am the creator and host of The Bothy Storytelling Podcast, recipient of the 2024 Best in Arts award, where stories, folklore, and history are brought vividly to life for listeners around the world. Recording from a professionally equipped home studio, I work with a Rode NT1-A and Lewitt LCT 540 S microphone chain, a Scarlett 2i2 interface, Allen & Heath ZEDi-10FX mixer, and a Snap Studio Ultimate Vocal Booth, ensuring broadcast-quality audio and a polished final product every time.
