Over 25 years experience of audio production, voice work and live performance. Currently building a profile as a narrator with my own blog-style website, with social media presence coming soon. I have a professionally equipped studio producing excellent professional results conforming to all ACX audio specifications. I am conscientious and methodical in my work and can meet deadlines. I can also proof-read to a high standard.
I specialize in classic-style literature, horror and comedy in fiction titles as well as poetry. In non-fiction i am interested in spirituality, biographies and arts titles.
However, I will consider any other styles or genres on their own merits.
My vocal style is mid-range, versatile. My natural accent is well-spoken British, a little more colloquial than "queen's english" although I can also read in that style. I can do most British regional variations such as scottish, northern and southern irish, welsh, northern british, cockney, estuary, etc. I can also do other world accents such as french, german, dutch, scandinavian, eastern european, russian, spanish, Indian, Australian, etc. I can also read in a "general" american accent.
I am also a musician, producer, writer, poet and artist and am also currently creating content for an up-coming website which will feature my own audio books, poetry, essays, original music and art.

The narrator did a great job! I'm thinking narrators with accents help bring the scariness of a story out as opposed to a regular American speaker. I don't know, something about an "English accent ... just added to the stories. For example, when he talked as the little girl in "Tunnels." OMG! He was giving me the creeps with that voice, especially when she was calling out for her mommy."
"The narrator, too, was bang on, adding a lot of character to the, eh, characters."
" Fantastic creepy narration made the piece all the more chilling."
"The narration captures the atmosphere wonderfully to enhance the listeners experience. "
" the narrator did a great job! I'd definitely listen to him again "
