My Background:
Voiceover That Connects, Communicates, and Converts

Great voiceover isn't just about having a "nice voice" — although that does help! It's also about delivering your message so it lands clearly, naturally, and convincingly with your audience.

That's what I do.

My background in linguistics and speech analysis gives me an edge most voice artists simply do not have: I understand why certain deliveries work — and why others fall flat. I know how listeners process spoken information, which words matter most in any sentence, and how emphasis, pacing, and tone affect credibility and engagement.

In practical terms, this means your script will:


A common mistake in voiceover is over-emphasis — hitting every keyword. This means everything is made important — so nothing is especially important! It drains the meaning from the message and - most importantly - takes zero account of the listeners and their knowledge and interests. I do the opposite. I shape the delivery so the listener feels guided, not lectured. The result is voiceover that sounds intelligent, effortless, and human.

I also have specialist experience working with emotional arousal in speech, which allows me to pitch performances precisely — whether that's warm and reassuring, authoritative and factual, or subtle and conversational. Nothing forced. Nothing generic.

Combined with broadcast-quality recording and fast, reliable turnaround, this means you get:


If you need a British voice that communicates clearly, sounds natural, and makes your message work harder — I'd be delighted to help!
