I've got a soft Southern Irish accent and my voice has been described by many as warm, sophisticated and natural. I've been a professional VO for over 25 years and my client list speaks for itself. I've voiced campaigns for some iconic commercial brands like Kia Motors, Guinness, Gillette, SMA, Avon and voiced numerous promos for Sky Arts, PBS America, Drama, BBC Entertainment and Discovery. I was the continuity voice of UKTV's natural history and science channel Eden, the movie and drama channel AMC UK, the History channel and I'm currently the continuity announcer for Narrative Entertainment's Great! Mystery channel. My VO experience extends across several VO genres including Corporate, Documentary and Animation. I'm a classically trained actor and I know just how to make a lasting impression with a smooth, clear and natural VO.
