BIOGRAPHY
★ I'm a full-time, award-winning voice actor working in the UK and worldwide. I specialise in TV commercials and promos, documentaries and video games - plus I'm experienced in dubbing and ADR. I also narrate audiobooks and short-form corporate and explainer videos. ★ My signature style is confident, playful and captivating with a deep, warm tone. Plus I’m a trained actor - so I can mix it up if you need something different. ★ Documentary Narrator of the Year 2024 (One Voice Awards), and the host of a number of podcasts, including my own: "How Do You Say That?!" and "Talking Creative - the art of Voiceover Directing".
