About me

Short description of my voice:
I'm a professional British English voiceover artist as heard this year on TV commercials for GoDaddy, Flora Gold & "Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens", material for MINI, easyJet, Booking.com, Marks & Spencer, Coca-Cola, Dell, Expedia, Starbucks, Mercedes-Benz, Cisco, MasterCard, Chevrolet, Ikea, Samsung, Aegon, Unilever, Toshiba, HP, Alfa Romeo, Absolut Vodka, Carlsberg, Madame Tussauds, Microsoft, Admiral Insurance, bank adverts, the BBC and documentary narration with millions of views. What can this UK voice do for you?

I have a relaxed, warm, informative, authoritative, creative, conversational voice style... hard sell if needed! With a chilled Jony Ive Apple tone or perhaps the fun and wry Dave Lamb tone from Come Dine With me, I can provide you with the voice and style to suit your requirements. Perfect for radio station imaging, television continuity, movie trailers, commercials, websites, explainer videos, eLearning, podcasts, audio books, on-hold automation and much more. I'm often described as friendly, corporate, natural, conversational, professional. And devastatingly gorgeous, obviously.

Please note - all samples in Joe's showreel are from genuine projects for MasterCard, Expedia, Star Wars, Open Doors charity, Mercedes-Benz, iOS app, City Express, Admiral Insurance.
