A bit of background!  I have been voicing radio commercials / instore commercials / onhold / IVR / e-learning packages / web audio etc. since 2001, after recording a showreel at Bernard Shaw's studio in Kent.  He liked my reading of "Leeds Castle" enough to add it to the CD accompanying his book "Voiceovers - A Practical Guide".  I was very flattered to be featured amongst some extremely illustrious voiceover artists, especially being such a newbie! 

Born in Kent to a Welsh mother and English father, but brought up in Cardiff since the age of 3, still not sure whether I'm English or Welsh, but I do have a T-shirt that says "50% Welsh, halfway to Heaven!" which sums up how I feel about The Land of Our Fathers (or Mothers in my case!).  

I work from my studio in Wales and I get hired a lot to work in a Welsh accent.  I do get booked to work in a neutral accent too and I regularly voice commercials for radio stations throughout the UK, as well as Spain, Monaco and Dubai.  I also voice onhold audio for hotels and car dealerships, web audio for holiday homes in various locations throughout the UK, and instore commercials for Lloydspharmacy, HSBC, Co-op, Spar, Morrisons, Asda and IKEA.

To date I have voiced three audiobooks - "A Cherished Freedom" by Joyce Stranger, "Facing the World" by Grace Thompson and "Loose Connections" by Rachel Trezise. 

I hope you enjoy my website.  I'm on a few others as well, just Google me!  Voiceovers.co.uk  is a particular favourite - it's brought quite a bit of work my way.
