  Additional Information

  A Personal Message :)

  "Ello Ello Ello! I'm British! Born in Leeds, the 3rd largest city in the UK (...it's in Yorkshire, Northern England; near the Pennines and windswept North Yorkshire Moors and also hometown to singers Mel B and Corinne Bailey Rae and the actor Malcolm McDowell... just in case you were wondering, that is...)....

  At age 18, I moved to London, UK to train as an actor. During my 3-years BA Honours Degree at Rose Bruford Drama School, I specialised as an ACTOR/MUSICIAN due to my passion for music and level of musical ability. (See Additional Skills section for details). Being musically inclined, I can learn the basics of new instruments quickly and have good ear for wide-ranging vocal accents.

  Following graduation, I worked as a professional actor for 14 years, 6 of which were spent performing on London's West End. My flexibility to play both lead and character roles, led to casting in both dramatic and comedic productions.

  I'm now a US Permanent Resident and live in California, USA (the lovely city of Santa Barbara, which is slap bang between Los Angeles and San Francisco).

  I provide VO remotely from my studio to yours and have clients all over the globe!

  So, If you need a neutral British accent or one of the other... MANY UK regional accents... give me a shout!...(Erm, that's British for "Give Me a Call", not "Shout at Me"...just to be clear...!). LOL. "
