Warming up your voice before any recording session or performance is extremely important. If you don’t warm up properly your vocal chords can become strained and over-worked and your voice will become dry and soon sound croaky. Make sure you ease your voice in to its work gently! I’ve been broadcasting and voicing scripts for […]

Benchmark
I was delighted to be involved with local writer Rachel Cochrane’s moving radio play Benchmark, recorded earlier this year.

Website videos
Let’s face it, the voiceover world is changing! Alot of my work these days isn’t for DVDs anymore, it’s all about web videos, short snappy demos that sit well on websites and give an overview of the company or products on offer. I’ve been working with local web designers Itchy Robot this week, the video […]
Variety is the spice…
One of the things I love about my work as a voiceover is how different it can be from one day to the next, or even from one hour to the next! I’ve been working on the audio for Bertie’s new phonics app this week and in between recording letters and sounds of the alphabet I’ve […]
