Voice Bio
I’m an actor, TV presenter and Voice Over artist – I record voices most of the time. Whether it’s for a Radio or TV ad, a corporate training module, or even something new on your platform: a podcast or perhaps even in in-flight preparation module for updated corporate exchange programmes (It has been done!)
I have a home studio, with professional AKG and RODE mics, a Scarlett 2i2 preamp and editing suite in Adobe Audition. That’s part of the story.
