A great Voice Over is a blend of Art and Science. It requires the skilled application of performance techniques such as pacing, inflection, prosody and interpretation. Today’s production environment requires Voice Actors to also be highly versed in technical, business and marketing skills.
The days of ‘running off a few voice-over gigs between acting jobs’, are a relic of the past. Although I secretly wish I could have socialised with Tom Baker in a Soho Bar between Dr Who sets.
Following long careers in the Corporate, Military and Medical environments, my services are an amalgamation of experience gained over many years, including acting skills, corporate experience and a focus on team-work.
I bring these to bear to deliver your vision.
Specialisation is important in most industries and it’s equally the case in the Voiceover World. Most Voice Actors are generalists first, with special interests such as Audiobooks & eLearning. Getting established in a niche isn’t just finding a commercial opportunity, it means playing to your strengths as a Voice Over Artist.
My tone is well suited to Documentary, eLearning, Medical and Character Narration. I have a 30 year background in both the medical and corporate worlds so I bring a wealth of experience.
I’ve found over the years that clients enjoy my character work and I love that it really can get quite silly at times.
My formal training has left me versatile and able to switch between character voices for audiobooks, reflective warriors for game-audio, tea drinking vikings for a radio ad, or describing the procedures your surgeon will undertake with your spinal fusion. There’s a whole niche market just for talking museum statues.
I deliver voice for video, voices for exhibitions, voices for learning, and entertainment and voices for information sharing. I also narrate audiobooks, with over 56 narrated to ACX standards.
Here’s a quick summary of the services I offer:
With a rich and varied tonality, a love of character interpretation and 56 titles completed, I offer full narration, edit, mix & master services for independent authors and publishers of both fiction and non-fiction titles. Consistent delivery style throughout and ACX compliant.
Accomplished Audiobook Narrator, with 56 books narrated. I bring my audio engineering and audio production experience to bear for other narrators and publishers, all to ACX Standard.
Voices for marketing, video narration and corporate styles, meeting the brief, staying on brand and delivering your key messages are the secrets to commercial audio and video. It’s a fusion of creative interpretation and targeted expression.
Music production services for Voice Artists, adding music to voice. Classically trained musician & composer of bespoke sound-worlds for visual and audio content.
The joy of Game Audio is the freedom to go a bit crazy with creative briefs, as well as serving the commercial needs of Game Promos. I’ve been an inter-dimensional being, a rude golf pundit and a reflective warrior in game roles. I’ve shouted orders on the Titanic and been a Russian Agent, so what’s there not to love about that.
Character work spans many genres, from audiobook to eLearning, game-audio to commercial radio ads. More than just voice for video, It’s the boundary marker between Voiceover work and acting and requires a set of skills that set the best apart from the rest. Character work is very satisfying and enjoyable work.
