New Video Showreel
I’ve finally got round to doing something I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time – namely, produce a polished video showreel of some of my previous work.

It will be particularly useful if you’ve sent me a script which needs a couple of pronunciation explanations, maybe an unusual company name, technical/medical terms, unfamiliar jargon etc. All…
Why Maude In Accounts Should Stick To Her Own Job
At times, I just don’t understand some people. On the odd occasion, a client or prospect will come to me enquiring about having a voiceover recorded for a video they’re producing. [And by the way, more often than not, these videos aren’t exactly bargain bucket basement prices; we’re talking thousands of pounds worth of production.]…
