About me

With credits including the BBC, online estate agent YOPA, award winning Sweet Cherry Publishing, and numerous corporate films and radio commercials for clients across the UK and Europe, you can depend on me to deliver your script and get your message across.

I have a mellifluous vocal style which will bring just the right tone to your project, whether you require me to be upbeat, conversational, informative, passionate, playful, or trustworthy. I'm an experienced character voice performer too! So, if you need a Tom Baker sound-alike, or any one of a range of characters, I might have something to fit the bill.

I'm based in North Yorkshire with my own recording and editing facilities, or I can travel to a studio of your choice for ultimate flexibility. I'm also an experienced radio producer, sound designer and broadcaster with many years of experience with the BBC.

ACTING

I'm an experienced stage actor and recently completed a tour with the first ever stage version of beloved BBC Radio comedy series 'The Navy Lark!' In October I’ll be performing on stage in Stourbridge and Birmingham, giving an intimate reading of a classic tale, following a successful debut for NeoNoir Theatre Company in 2021.
