Simon Phillips

Experienced and versatile London voice over with own studio producing TV and radio ads, business promotions and presentations, education and training materials, documentary narrations, website tutorials, announcements and information recordings, travel guides, phone system messages, audiobooks, character roles and charity appeals.

I have a relaxed and natural delivery which is believable, confident, professional and friendly. Perfect for today's consumer and business markets.

I have a London accent which I can emphasise or neutralise as required and my age range is young adult to forties, although I can play younger or (much, much) older for character performances, and can also do some regional and international accents.

My approach is co-operative and professional with a view to establishing ongoing working partnerships.

 Ausbildung

I trained at Voxtraining of London where I was instructed by BBC professionals in the environment of a top working studio.

Further coaching by Nancy Wolfson (Braintracks Audio) and Yvonne Morley (LAMDA).

 Besonderheiten

I'm good with difficult words so technical and medical reads have become a bit of a speciality, but my main strength is the natural sound which I can bring to all kinds of material.

I can provide script suggestions and edits, and also add music and sound effects to recordings.

Remote direction is available via phone, Cleanfeed, Session Link, Zoom, Teams, Meets, Hangouts, Skype, WhatsApp, etc, etc, or I can travel to your studio for in-house productions.
