In my 40 years as a professional actor and voice artist, I have worked on a huge variety of projects: educational and medical narration; telephone system announcements; radio jingles; corporate films; educational cd's for the Oxford University Press; instructional videos for surgeons; internal and external messaging announcements for Morgan Stanley Bank, Scottish and Southern Electricity and Canadian Adventure; the announcements for elevators all over the world; a documentary about the Galapagos Islands; narration on two short films for a UK charity; a video about Cop26; recreations of legal cases involving complex jargon; financial sector presentations. Feedback from a recent client was that they were impressed with how efficient, effective and professional I was at recording their complex medical VoiceOver - in half the time they had expected. I have been using my voice as a screen and stage actor since 1986 and I have appeared on BBC radio more than once to be interviewed about my work as a voice artist. I am a trained singer and musician and can sight read music. I have a sound interface, top quality mic and Logic Pro X to record your project. I am skilled at editing text if required and enjoy tidying up script to make it read more effectively. However I can make good sense out of almost any material and I am a very fluent sight reader of complex text.
