About me

Short description of my voice:
I have a warm, versatile voice which lends itself to both compassionate and up-beat roles. I was the voice of 'Quick-Quid' in their TV commercial throughout removed ; 'Marilyn Monroe' on Radio 4; and 'Lady Catherine De Bourgh', and various other voices in 'Pride and Prejudice'. My sound is therefore, commercial, interesting and flexible.
Additional skills:
Impressions and cartoon voices are also a speciality. I have an outstanding singing voice which has been featured on a number of commerically available albums.

Home Studio

I have a home studio where I use Cubase Pro 12 Advanced Production Software, operated by my Sound Engineer partner.

This connects to a Steinberg UR-22 USB Audio Interface. 24 bit / 192 khz 2 x D-Pre + 192khz support.

With a Rode NT1 A Studio Mic on an SM6 Shock Mount with Pop Shield and SE Electronics Project Studio Reflection Filter.

I have good soundproofing, via an Acoustic Foam Vocal Booth in a converted attic.
