With twenty years in the industry, including character work for the Harry Potter franchise and best-selling video games, narration for period drama and award-winning investigative journalism on the BBC, sketches and drama for BBC Radio 4, and advertising major international brands Red Bull to Dominos, I have the experience to lift your book off the page and make it an audio book to be proud of.
From the home studio I'll use to record your audio book, I also produce, host and edit my own award-winning show, 'The Honest Actors' Podcast', centred on interviews with other actors. It's the UK's leading acting podcast, has a perfect 5-star rating on iTunes and has been featured on top podcast lists on Buzzfeed, and in the I paper, Metro and Evening Standard.
Having a home studio means that I can get your book to you fast and also make any changes you need, as soon as you need them.
