The Voice

I’ve voiced for clients from local radio to international TV campaigns, for brands as big as Tripadvisor and Squarespace.


Voice Qualities

Warm, friendly, conversational, ageless, relatable, bright and dynamic.

Northern Neutral Accent

My roots are in Leeds, West Yorkshire, although my accent has neutralised through years of being a luvvie. My Yorkshire can be turned up or down.

Voice Attitude

From authority to vulnerability, what do you need?Authentic, sincere, to sarcastic and cynical.

The Session

Live Remote Commercial Sessions:

I can connect live at studio quality to almost any studio in the world with a range of remote connections. You can record and mix live in session. I always record a safety copy at my side which is available to you.

Directed Sessions:

For clients producing without a studio, it’s also possible to do a directed session. You can dial in to direct via phone, Skype or even Zoom and Teams. I record the audio at my side. Once completed, I send the un-edited session to you.

Self-Directed & Recorded:

If you just want audio delivered, this can be the most effective way. I can record and self-direct according to your brief, sending you edited takes or full audio.

In-Person Sessions:

Where practical in terms of budget, I can travel to your studio for an in-person session.

For overseas, I hold both UK and EU passports.


Additional Information

TV and National Radio Campaigns:

For commercial TV campaigns and national radio commercials, I can provide an audition recording for client approval. I’m happy to do a line test, should you need to, prior to a session.

Rates will be based on a BSF and Usage Fee.

Online Campaigns:

Online advertising is treated in a similar way to TV and Radio, so the recording fee and usage will need to be calculated.

For clarity, this is where the client is paying to show the content to an audience. Usage will depend on the usage and territory.

Typical examples of this might include YouTube pre-roll or advertising on Facebook.

I’m always happy to chat, to see what you need and how I can work with your budget.

Local Radio Commercials:

For commercials made for local radio by in-house production teams, I work to the agreed Equity minimum rates. (Agency rates otherwise).

I can work either on a self-record basis or in a live session.

Auditions / Demos / Casting:

Depending on the project, I’m happy to record a short audition sample for evaluation for a project. This can be useful, if you need to share something with your client.

I’m also happy to be added to casting lists, although please let me know you’re doing that.
