About me
Short description of my voice:I have most recently been appearing at the Criterion Theatre playing the roles of Daddy Pig and Danny Dog in 'Peppa Pig's Party'. This involves two very different character (childlike and adult) voices, and has often inspired the audience to ask if I am the original voice from the TV cartoon.
My voice has been described as being very distinctive, with a good commercial quality that is both persuasive and fresh. I would also be well suited to work on documentary/museum narratives as well as within the world of telephone on-hold systems.
People who spend time with me say I sound (and look) like David Mitchell of Peep Show fame.
I take direction well and often find that directors are willing to working with me on multiple projects.
Recent feedback includes:
'We'd definitely like to work with you in the future, as it was a joy!'
Natasha Kalisz, Producer, Light TV
'It has been a real pleasure having you on board for Peppa. We shall miss you greatly - not just for your onstage performances but also for your calm and considered support towards everyone else within the company. We wouldn't hesitate in employing you again.'
Ed Snape, Producer, Fiery Angel Theatre Company
Additional skills:
Good improvisational skills and very adept at script editing.
