Toby Ricketts

Toby specializes in a delivery with warmth, gravitas, importance and energy. Toby has a natural UK British, New Zealand accent, American and Australian accents and can also provide bespoke accent hybrids for neutral or international markets. He can do a range of US accents with practice, and comedy accents and characters for cartoon shows and sketches if required. Can imitate Jony Ive / Jonathan Ive from the Apple videos, also John Hurt, Alan Watts, Tom Hiddleston, and Matthew Mcconaughey to a professional level also!

Having been a sound engineer for most of his professional life he has been in thousands of voice over sessions and consequently knows exactly what works and what does not work when it comes to voicing. The money you spend on professionalism will save you money in turnaround, and redos. Toby started voicing in a truly professional manner in 2001 and since then has recorded scripts internationally, and been the voice of several national and international brands in his home country. * qualified sound engineer with over 15 years experience, and a bachelors degree in Broadcasting Communications from the New Zealand Broadcasting School. * Several national radio awards * Designed and tutored a unique voice school - which helps aspiring voices into the industry - the only one of it's kind in the world * Producer of thousands of advertisments and audio products Original Neumann Kmi84, with Arturia Audiofuse interface, and Adobe Audition CC 2018 Recording to any audio file format you need, and delivered via WeTransfer, dropbox pro, or email.

Having spent so much time in the studio with other voice talents I can very quickly know what is need from a script and interpret the writer's intentions.
