After many years in business and headhunting, and now in my 70s, I have moved into acting and voiceovers as a profession. I have also worked as an occasional Supporting Actor in TV dramas, serial dramas and short independent films. My RP accent works well with voiceovers for narrations, commercials, audibles, corporate training videos, etc. My versatile on-screen roles tend to project authority—politicians, CEOs, clergy or similar—though I can do period drama and portray older family members as well. My character playing age is 51+. I am also an occasional podcaster, hosting unedited, very informal conversations with a wide range of guests.
