Playful and Inquisitive. Endearing and Engaging. A vocally versatile Brit with a love of storytelling!

I’m a trained British stage actor turned full-time audiobook narrator. I’m also something of a renaissance man, having taken the scenic route from graduating drama school in my early 20s to becoming a professional voice actor in my 40s. Since building my home studio in 2021 I've recorded 20+ audiobooks (ranging from indie authors to major publishing houses) and worked on a wide variety of other VO projects.

Audiobooks is my passion. I love that I get to play multiple parts, using my versatility with voices and accents, and that I spend my days sitting in a cupboard reading books! My favorite genres are sci-fi, fantasy and anything that requires some wry British humor. I enjoy romance too (narrating under the pseudonym Hugo Flynn when things get spicy). And as a father of two, I've always loved to reading children's stories and YA fiction.

YA Fantasy Fiction - Engaging story, dynamic characters. Playful, energised, funny. British RP, Cockney and Northern accents
Non Fiction - Crisp, clear British RP. Insightful, informative. Complex terminology, confidently handled
Sci-fi Comedy - Quirky characters, upbeat, humorous. RP, London and Yorkshire accents
Fiction - Classic fable. Rich, warm narration and big, comic characters
Regency Romance - Bridgerton style, brooding, steamy, intense (British RP accent)
Modern Romance (American Accent) - Rich, warm tones. Intimate, sensitive. M/F dialogue
