About me

Short description of my voice:
- smooth, natural RP tones
- stylish, reassuring, trustworthy
- as time goes on my natural voice is huskier and been likened to Monty Don
- originally from Kent I can easily slip into a London/SE accent from my neutral RP
- I'm very adept at character voices and accents and once performed 20 different voices in one ADR session for BBC's Casualty.
Additional skills:
- Acting, Presenting
- Script writer, producer, director
- Voice, radio & screen acting coach
Additional information:
I have over 30 years experience as a voice artist, actor and producer, lending my talents to TV dramas, films, documentaries, animation, computer games, corporate films, advertisements and audio drama.

I started off in hospital radio and the age of 18 since then my career has been extensive and has enabled me to work with some amazing people and broad range of companies.

As you can see from my long list of credits a lot of my clients have included major players like Audi, L'Oréal, Balfour Beatty, Oral B, Global Alliance for Banking on Values, ESA, Macmillan Cancer Support, Zurich, Lloyds Bank, HSBC, the NHS and General Medical Council. I've also narrated documentaries and TV shows for Testimony Films, True to Nature and the BBC to name but a few. Including "Natural Born Rebels" for BBC worldwide and "Winters Hidden Wonders" series for Nat Geo Wild.

As an actor I've played numerous roles in film, TV & theatre and won the award for best male actor at the two days of laughter film festival 2012 for a darkly comedic role in "The Interview".

"It is Bernie Hodges' psychotic performance that lingers with you long after the end credits have rolled "
(David Hall on 'Release').

Since 2014 I've utilised my experience and keen eye for spotting talent in running inimitable a boutique voice agency.

I've also co-written and produced numerous films, audio productions and podcasts along with producing various audio recordings for inimitable productions.

Since 2019 I've co-presented and produced the LGBT+ podcast "What, that Old Queen?!" along with producing podcasts for MAYK & A Haunted Existence.

I also teach radio and screen acting at the Bristol Acting Academy and am developing an advanced audio acting and voice over courses.

My Career has been long and varied, I'm always professional and do everything with good humour. I really enjoy meeting and working with new people on each new project that comes my way. So drop me a line.
