  WRITER

  A member of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, I have written many successful radio documentaries for the BBC on subjects as diverse as Tony Bennett and movie scores. I recently wrote the foreword for 'The Saint Abroad', part of a series of reprints from Thomas & Mercer.

  BROADCASTING

  I am an experienced radio producer, sound designer and broadcaster with many years of experience with the BBC.

  Short description of my voice

  I am an experienced, versatile and dependable voice artist with a pleasant and rich voice-over style perfect for advertising, corporate presentations, audio books and broadcasting assignments.

  I have experience in presenting scripts across a broad range of subjects, from Shakespeare for children to e-Learning for students in the Middle East, and a national TV campaign for YOPA.

  Voice Acting appearances include short film 'Dead Meet' (youtu.be/9Bc9LeRKdFs) and the role of Peter Sellers in two theatre tours of 'The Goon Show!' for Birmingham Comedy Festival 2014 and FRED Theatre, with appearances as Peter Sellers and Kenneth Connor in the world premiere of 'The Lost Hancocks' for Wolverhampton Comedy Festival, Funny Things in November 2017, with further presentations in 2018 at the British Library for Birmingham Comedy Festival. My monthly comedy Podcast 'Twistory Tales!' can be found via iTunes and Android subscription services (itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/twistory-tales-the-richard-usher-comedy-podcast/id **contact removed** ?mt=2) and via my own website at www.richardusher.co.uk

  I am able to travel, and I also have home studio facilities based in Berkshire with Skype access available.
