I am a BAFTA-winning voice over performer with 20 years of production experience. I am also an award-winning Editor and Director at the highest level of British TV production. I have a warm, deep but versatile voice and a Yorkshire native accent, with the ability to perform in other accents including North East, Brummie, West Country and Liverpool. I can record live to picture and I have professional recording facilities at home. My career includes high-profile voice work on series such as Play Your Pets Right (winner of the Children's BAFTA 2019), Drawers Off – The Big Naked Painting Challenge, Tonight – when can I see my GP?, Officially Amazing, NextDoor Nightmares, Goblin Works Garage, Mafia’s Secret Bunkers and Fashion House. I am also an editor and director with 20+ years in flagship factual entertainment and have co-devised formats like Drawers Off and Snog Marry Avoid; I have written and edited scripts and directed multi-camera shows like Big Brother and Fame Academy. After 16 years in London I am now based in Manchester.
