BIOGRAPHY
Tom is an experienced voice over artist, having worked in the industry for 30 years. He started out voicing for his and his fellow students’ animations at college, where he studied graphic design, specialising in film and animation. Other students encouraged him to record his voice for their films after being engaged by his love of doing character voices and accents around the campus. His first paid job was for a radio commercial for the Sunday Times, straight out of college. Since then he has voiced numerous short animations as well as working on Monkey Dust, the cult sketch-based animation show broadcast on BBC3. He has since voiced commercials, documentaries and e-learning. He also honed his performance skills on the UK live comedy circuit performing as part of the award-winning double act Hitchcock’s Half Hour.
