I WORK IN THE VOICE OVER INDUSTRY AS A(N)
Voice Actor, Copy Writer
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
Who: Born and raised in London, England. Been living and working in New York since September 2003. I'm a real believer in mind over matter and that you have to laugh and stay positive at all times. I want to keep listening and learning.
How: Started taking voice classes with the great Marla Kirban in New York in September 2005. These continue every week to this day. She, along with Bryant Falk, produced my first demo at the end of January 2006. On March 2nd (my brother Andrew's birthday) that year I signed with Don Buchwald & Associates in New York. My first booking was on the same day - promo's for the History Channel.
Since then I’ve done radio and TV commercials for, amongst others, Land Rover, British Airways, Coca-Cola, Motorola and Gwen Stefani. Also, TV political ads, English-language DVDs and ESL courses and Audiobooks for most of the major publishers.
And there have been hundreds of Internet marketing and training videos for Fortune 500 companies, and further TV promos for Cartoon Network, AETN International and MTV.
Most of the jobs I do are from my own ISDN studio.

My demos are up and running. Question, do my demos play when you click my page. If not, how did you get your demos to instantly play? I really like that. Thanks!
