Clients describe me as a "mature" voice-over/actor.
This doesn't mean I "sound old", but I can sound old or senior, if required.
The scripts I voice usually contain words and phrases which need 'landing' or 'leaning' on, in other words, digging-in with gravitas, depth, meaning and integrity.
Real words spoken by a real human who has probably had more than just a little experience of reading most types of text over the past 35+ years of being behind a mic.
On Radio, TV and Cinema commercials, audio/visual and corporate narrations, documentaries, online, on-hold, in-store, training films, audio-books, cinemas, at award ceremonies, on podcasts - the list goes on (far too long!).
I've been the imaging/branding "voice" of 100's of Radio and TV stations in the UK, the UAE, Australia, Africa, and other corners of the globe since the mid 1990’s.
Oh, and this is all I do, sometimes 25/7...
Обучение
Over the past 35+ years, I've accumulated my voice-over skills, drawing from many and varied sources around the globe.
I've never had specific 'training' as such - so call it the voice-over 'school of life', but I've been doing it professionally for over 3 decades.

Classic FM is the largest national commercial radio station in the UK. Around 6 million people tune in weekly. At the Sony Radio Awards in 1999 and 2000, the station won “Gold” for "Station Sound". I was the primary voice of Classic FM at that time for several years.

I've sung in (and out) of bands for over 40 years, my last stint being with two 20 piece "Big Bands" in Australia, crooning tunes by Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Harry Connick Jr., Nat King Cole. I've also sung pretty much every style from John Denver to Led Zeppelin!
