That British Voice Talent
Hello, from across the pond. I may be on another continent, but I’ve worked with many US-based clients throughout my career.
That includes national TV campaigns for Tripadvisor and national radio for Squarespace.
Voice Qualities
First of all, I have a native British accent. It’s warm, friendly, conversational, ageless, relatable, bright and dynamic.
Northern Neutral British Accent
Although my roots are in Yorkshire in the north of England, my accent has neutralised through years of working in media. It’s perfect for being clear and articulate, but not too posh. With just a hint of northern friendliness.
Voice Attitude
Would you like some of that British sarcasm? I do authority to vulnerability and everything in-between. Authentic, sincere, to sarcastic and cynical.
The Studio
I work from my own home-based professional standard voice-booth. Notably, I’ve done live sessions with high-end studios in New York, LA, UK, Germany, France and others. I know my equipment well and have edited audio for 35 years.
My Studio List:
Microphone(s)
- Neumann TLM 193
- Audio Technica AT 4033a
Audio Interface(s)
- Audient id4 (booth)
- Focusrite Scarlett (control room)
Software
- Adobe Audition (Adobe CC Full Suite)
- Izotope RX10 Standard
Hardware
- Apple iMac Desktop
- In-booth monitor for dubbing to picture.
The Session
Live Remote Commercial Voiceover Sessions:
I can connect live at studio quality to almost any studio in the world with a range of remote connections… although I know for the US, Source Connect Standard is the go-to choice.
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, 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.
I’ve found that this works really well for some US clients, as the time difference works in your favour. Send the script as you leave the office – it’s on your desk the next morning when you arrive!
Additional Information
TV and National Radio Commercial 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 Commercial 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.
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.
British Voice Talent for Local Radio Commercials:
Voicing ads for local radio markets in the US is something I’ve had limited opportunities in so far.
I’d love to build some bridges with producers in that sector across the states. So, if that’s you get in touch.
