Welcome

Advertisers and authors come to me to help them connect with a global audience, by telling the right stories in the right way.

My experience, both in advertising and journalism give me an unrivalled ability to understand your aims and objectives.

You need a voiceover with experience but also intuition – what is the message you’re trying to get across in your script? What is my role in the project?

In addition, I love to collaborate with clients on projects because, let’s face it, sometimes a recording session can start and the final, final … final script isn’t the one that ends up on the finished film.

Many clients can have questions:

What’s the right voice: will it capture the mood? 

Is the script too long?

How will the voice blend with the music and visuals?

The original script wasn’t written in English.
How can we make sure it sounds convincing?

How can we maintain people’s interest?

That’s where I can help. Feel free to send me an email, or book a call. I’d love to talk through your project, and see if I can help.


Innate instinct for lifting characters off the page

Seriously slick. Effortless and so flexible

A debonair voice of the gods – like David Niven with good hair!

Wow!! (My favourite testimonial of all - only 3 letters long)

My studio

I’ve worked from my own home studio for more than 10 years. That means having to be my own producer, director, editor, sound engineer and appointment booker. (Not to mention marketing director, accountant, PR executive and strategy consultant!)

I have clients all over the world, who either connect with me directly in my studio, or they trust me enough to just send me a script, knowing that I will have it back to them within the agreed timeframe (and usually before – I like to over-deliver!)

Out of the booth

So what do I get up to, when I’m not recording in my booth?

Well, I’m the lead singer in a fabulous band called ‘Patchwork,’ which plays regularly at the iconic Half Moon pub in London.

Every day starts with a walk beside the Thames with ‘Bernard,’ my Jack Russell. (We also have a cat called Ringo.)

I’ve cycled stages of the Tour de France, hiked in the Dolomites and have spent many a summer holiday leaping off harbour walls in Cornwall.

I do Pilates badly, tennis and Padel a bit better and am a font of useless facts and figures - the more obscure the better. Phrase most commonly heard: “you’d be my phone a friend on Who Wants to be a Millionaire."
