About Martin
I've felt the need to be creative since I was quite young, but initially didn't know how or where to express it.
In my early teens, I went to my first gig and immediately knew that playing guitar and singing was going to be the perfect outlet. I remember telling someone at a party shortly afterwards, that I would become a famous rock star. Let's just say, what he said turned out to be correct.
Nevertheless, for the next 15 years, making music was my absolute passion. I was lucky enough to play shows and festivals all over the UK and even had a teeny tiny bit of Radio 1 airplay! I always took a camera with me and that developed into a keen interest in photography, capturing special moments in a single frame.
During that time I started to volunteer at a community radio station, playing tracks from local bands and live engineering them in the studio. This was my first taster of being a "voice".
Not content with playing in a band and being a DJ's sidekick, I still needed another avenue to create in. I started writing, filming and editing comedy sketches (100% hilarious). This pushed me towards telling stories and I started to write screenplays and short tales with intriguing twists and turns.
When I finally started to reign back my hectic music schedule, it gave me time to try something else - jokes (again, 100% hilarious). This became a bit of an obsession, writing thousands over a couple of years and producing content for several Twitter accounts.
After being made redundant from my 'proper' job in 2018, I decided it was time to do something real with this creative streak running through me.
Enter voice over...
I dipped my toes in the water after watching a webinar with Peter Dickson and Hugh Edwards, two stalwarts of the industry.
I was fascinated by being able to produce so many different and complex emotions with my voice and not just stupid noises like I have done for the entirety of my life.
This seemed like a challenge - and I was up for it.
So, that's the tale of how I got into the voice over business and here I am...taking my love of creativity, storytelling and connecting with people into yet another medium.
