My voice-performance career, like a scandalous rumour, is dramatic, unexpected and arresting - but frustratingly off the record. I've read poetry in clubs, told stories in pubs, been used as a kind of dialect jukebox by my friends and acted on stages, yet had little opportunity to capture these in a studio. I trained as an actor and have worked as a director and teacher, but find myself returning overwhelmingly to language and the voice in all three disciplines. I have been into the studio to record a voice-over for a natural history documentary and a character-driven advertisment for a training course, but really my career is just getting started... What does that mean? Well, that means no old patterns to fall into, no comfort zone. That means any work I create for you is going to be completely fresh, completely new. Have a listen to my reel and decide which facet of my voice can help you, and hear me develop it right there and then.

I spent a year working for Barclays Premier banking, so am experienced in the professional world as well as the arts. I also have teaching and workshop-leading experience, a full CRB and am used to directing groups of children and young adults. I have a full UK driving license.
