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.]…

Recent Client: Morrisons Supermarket
This is the end product of a job I recently voiced for Morrisons. It shows off plans to redevelop a plot of land just outside of London; building a new supermarket with adjoining Premier Inn hotel next door. This video is to demonstrate the positive impact this regeneration will have on the local area, being…
Mike Hurley – The Voiceover Legend
Mike Hurley is someone you could have passed in the street and have no clue who he was. But hear his voice, and you’d more than likely know it instantly. He was a living legend in the voiceover world; appeared on radio, television, countless adverts let alone all the corporate gigs he would have voiced…
Another Satisfied Client
This week I’ve recorded some e-learning type material for a major well known UK examination awarding body. It’s material for adult learners, I imagine for distance learning. Quite a nice straightforward job in about 20 sections. This was my first piece of work with them, so it was rather nice to receive an email from…
How It’s Made – The Microphone
I found this video circling the web a while ago that shows the construction of a professional microphone; that is actually of the same family my own microphone is from. As a voice over artist, I naturally found it interesting seeing what’s behind the mesh; and I’m sure non-audio geeks will find it interesting too!…
Recent Client – Cornish Traditional Cottages
A couple of weeks ago I had an enquiry in from a video production company down in Cornwall, who wanted a voiceover for a video promoting Cornish Traditional Cottages for an online marketing campaign. Yesterday I received the finished article, and I have to say, I think it’s really swish indeed! Not purely for the…
New Voice Reel Just Posted
Last week I set about producing a new voice reel, as the time had certainly come to make something new with material from some recent projects that so far haven’t been heard (other than by the client). So, without further ado, please do have a listen, and if you like what you hear, then feel…
If Darth Vader Was Voiced By Kenneth Williams
I stumbled across a rather amusing video on YouTube the other day; a version of Star Wars from an alternate reality. We’ve all I’m sure seen the raw footage from a Star Wars scene of the actor in the costume of Darth Vader, Dave Prowse – delivering his lines in a rather un-menacing Westcountry accent….
What Is Your USP?
This morning I was at a business networking meeting, and the guest speaker owned a marketing company. The talk revolved around a few areas, one of which was the age-old topic of what is your USP (Unique Selling Point for the uninitiated)? And how by narrowing down what type of business you target, how in…
Sir Ken Robinson On Creativity At TED
This is a TED talk you’ve probably seen before, as it’s quite a popular one. Sir Ken Robinson on why he thinks schools are killing creativity. It’s certainly one to get you thinking! Ken has been talking about this subject, and the importance of creativity for many years. He also has a book about it…
