Jul 2019 news: Work on developing the pre-recorded audio description for live theatre / operas / musicals is ongoing. Very excited about linking up with developments in score-following software at Johannes Kepler University, Linz. The usual on-hold telephone messages and internal training courses (including some for Rolls Royce) keep coming...
Voiceover
I can either record from home, or travel to a specified studio. If you want to direct remotely, you can skype in to the session and you can record remotely using ipDTL / sessionlinkpro etc.
My home studio consists of a fully soundproof vocal booth from www.vocalbooth.com, SE Electronics 2200 mic, Focusrite ISA One Pre-Amp with digital A/D card, Scarlett 6i6 USB interface, Macbook running Protools / Reaper, PC running Soundforge.
The job cost will depend on wordcount, the type of job (including distribution if it’s commercial) and format required. If you email your requirements, I can send you an estimate and a free sample.
Engineering
I can post-produce audio from home, whether it be editing voiceover (taking out breaths, clicks, EQ'ing, and mastering into different formats), or mixing with music, multi-tracking etc. I also rent out my studio and can either engineer the session, or just make the tea! Because of my links with many other voiceover artists and actors, if my own voice doesn’t suit your requirements, do get in touch and I can try to source someone suitable for you.
Audio Books
I am a narrator for Bee Audio, and specialise in non-fiction and children's books.
Audio Description
I am a member of the Audio Description Association and audio describe operas for Opera North. I am available to audio describe operas and musicals around the UK.
I began working in the recording industry in 1995 editing classical CDs for a post-production company in London after studying music at King's College, Cambridge. My career in voiceover started a few years later when I was living in Ireland, when a friend recommended me for a job where they needed an English accent. I soon became a busy voiceover artist specialising in e-learning narration for the many e-learning companies based in Dublin. I set up my own studio at home so I could offer recording, editing and post-production services, and continued to do so after moving back to the UK in 2010, combining it with my work as a musician, composer and community engagement work for Opera North.
Recording is my passion, and using my musical ear, I like to find the tone and timing in a good voiceover which makes people listen. And working from home means I can guarantee really quick turnaround times.
Here are some of the companies who have used my voice.
