I’m an English VO doing a range of regional accents, from signature Midlands RP, to cockney after living in London for years, Scottish after growing up in Scotland as a wee bairn, and General American after years of singing the blues and watching cool movies. I speak fluent Italian and Spanish like a local.
Previous projects include true history podcasts, audiobooks, Star Wars, Skyrim and a variety of animation and cartoon characters including the shockingly classic Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
