Some Things You Might Like To Know

Actually, you might have heard me already - I'm the voice of the BBC Civilisations augmented reality app, which has been downloaded almost a quarter of a million times, I’ve appeared in several Radio 4 plays, TV commercials, apps, documentary narration, in store promotions, Virtual Reality tours, telephone on hold messages and corporate videos, and I read the news on BBC Radio Manchester and BBC 5Live from time to time.

If you fancy using my (notably warm and deep RP with optional Manchester) voice for your project, get in touch for a chat.

My voice has popped up on the Huffington Post, the Guardian website, the BBC, ITV and been broadcast to members of the European Parliament. Clients include Aardman, The British Red Cross, Guylian chocolate, Longleat Safari Park, Asda, BBC Inside Out North West, ITV's Loose Women, and the V&A.

I also - alongside fellow VO and voice coach Nicola Redman - run VO Social North (a regular meet up above a pub in Manchester) and make a rather highly reviewed podcast; “The Voiceover Social”. It’s available everywhere podcasts can be found, including Apple, Google and Spotify

I've performed several roles for BBC Radio 4 - in the "The B Towns - The Punjab", "Give Dotty a Chance" and" Intensive Care". I also make the odd appearance on BBC Radio 3's The Verb, reading poems and extracts from novels.

Logistical Bits and Bobs

My acoustically treated home recording studio features a Rode Broadcaster and Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, with facilities for remote direction using Source Connect or Skype. I can provide finished, edited or unedited WAV or MP3 files via Dropbox, Wetransfer or any other large file sharing method with a very quick turnaround.

I also work closely with studios in Manchester and London and can help you book somewhere if you’d like to direct in person.

You can use the form below to reach me directly, or contact me through my agent, Excellent Talent. Either way, it’ll be great to hear from you!
