My voice has been described as being friendly, assured, trustworthy, authoritative, clear, expressive and precise; charismatic, educated, empathic, informed, natural and reassuring. Soothing, sophisticated, versatile, warm, ‘Voice of God’. Great RP!
I work in all areas of voiceover, but work mainly in narration for film, and audiobooks, corporate, E-learning or explainer reads. I’ve voiced the opening for a touring circus for two years running, and narrated two series of ‘In The Night Garden’ promoting their range of toys. I am also used to live announcing.
Most recently, I’ve appeared in a number of audio dramas which include a short Sherlock Holmes drama ‘The Adventures of the Blue Carbuncle’, ‘Ready to Ramble’ ‘I Confess’ and most recently as a character in the US audio drama ‘Tara Tremendous’.
Clients include ‘WildBrain’, ‘Midland Heart’, ‘Saniflo’, and a variety of radio stations.
So whatever your project – narration, explainer, e-learning,commercials or drama, please do contact me and let me know how I can help you!!

Having been an actor for over 25 years I have a great love of, and affinity with, words and poetry. I love painting pictures with words and many pictures can be created from the same words depending on how those words are read or performed. This is why I find being a voice artist so exciting. From an early age I've been doing commentaries and 'voiceover', not that I really knew it at the time, as from the age of 6 or 7 I was always one of the two or three asked to do a reading at the school's carol concerts. This continued at my other schools and where a narrator or announcer was required for a production, I was given the job. Fast forward 15 years, I was appearing in a Christmas show – the largest in the UK and the director asked the producer to do a brief religious reading. Although a very experienced opera singer, he didn’t feel comfortable appearing as ‘himself’. The producer happened to call me at home and on hearing my answerphone message thought that I would be ideal for the job and the rest is history. I was in this show for over 10 years, ended up directing other actors in drama pieces, and also providing the front of house safety and show announcements. Since becoming a voice artist, I have built up a small clientele all around the world. But perhaps my most exciting job was being asked to do a promo for a new ‘Warhammer’ game by Fantasy Flight Games in the US. I always put 110% into any work I do to ensure a client is happy, and look forward to working with new clients with any challenge they pass my way.

John made it easy for us….
John was a pleasure to work with; always friendly and he genuinely added fun to the project. His voice suited the work perfectly and he always completed the work quickly with little direction or notes. Communication was great and he provided his own equipment, working from home, which was incredibly helpful to us. John made it easy for us and I am sure we will work with him again in the future.
