About me
I am an actor who has appeared extensively on stage and in short films, although I have performed in two full length films. I am a founder member of Next Generation Theatre Company where I am currently Artistic Director. I am a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.Self-Recording
I use a Rode microphone and record to a Zoom H4n recorder. Whilst my room is not soundproofed it is situated on the fourth floor in a very quiet area and sound recording usually presents no problems. I use a Nikon D780 camera which records good quality HD video and associated sound in addition to the Zoom recordings. For video, I can either use a Nikon D780, Nikon D600 or the camera on my iMAC which is good enough for some recording. I also have a small teleprompter if required.License & Passport

Personal Biography:
I obtained an Engineering Science degree in 1970 and applied for work in Repertory Theatre. Owing to the limited availability of work at that time I trained as a teacher. Whilst this was the day job for many years I have always performed to the public. Initially my performances were in amateur theatre but alongside this I performed as a folk singer, initially solo and latterly with a Folk Band. I toured as a guitarist, vocalist and percussionist with the band for thirty three years. I moved to Devon in 2007 and have worked extensively with independent film companies, theatre companies and students as both an actor and a lighting designer/gaffer. Whilst I have had no formal training in acting, I have worked with many professionals from whom I have learnt a great deal and have managed to secure acting work which has been well regarded.
Acting Experience:
Since 1966 a large number of acting rôles in amateur theatre and films (mostly shorts) and as a paid semi-professional. Since 2007, several rôles paid as professional in commercial and short films.
Additional Skills:
Experienced in Lighting Design for theatre and Gaffer for short films. Worked as a Professional Photographer - weddings, portraits, film stills etc. when 'resting'. Director of stage and short films.
Industry Awards:
Several awards for short films including: Best Quarantine short film (made during lockdown) which I wrote, directed and in which I took on a small role; Best European Short Film Script for a short film which I also wrote.
