I have 15 years experience as presenter and reporter on BBC TV and radio and commercial radio, but i'm just starting out in the world of voice over.
I’ve presented on BBC World and BBC News On Demand, BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Radio 2, and reported for the BBC News Channel, BBC World Service and BBC London.
While I'm new at voice over I have plenty of experience reading to time, sight reading, reading live, pre-recorded, scripted or unscripted and using my voice to suit a variety of styles.

I have worked as a presenter and broadcast journalist in a self-op environment for my whole career, so my presenting, reporting and interviewing skills are complemented by audio and video editing, podcast production, studio operation and technical ability with a variety of field kit.
I have also always written my own scripts for broadcast so have a fine-tuned ability to write with speech in mind, and have always enhanced my broadcast work with online journalism.
