I’ve enjoyed working on everything from corporate brands and e-learning projects to animation and audio dramas.
My skills and experience as a trained actor mean that I approach every job with steadfast focus and professionalism. I’m always prepared to go that extra mile within the warm, playful and welcoming recording environment I create with each client.
My clients have high standards and expectations, and I aim to deliver without fault. I’m always prepared to push boundaries and not just ‘conform to the norm’.
An animated feature film.
The incredible true story of this iconic Syrian Brown Bear is very close to my heart as I played Wojtek in Theatre Objektiv’s highly successful theatre production of ‘Wojtek the Bear’ which ran for 3 years and over 80 performances.
This took in 2 Edinburgh Festival Fringe runs, a Scottish tour, and 2 runs in Warsaw, Poland. In the play Wojtek was a speaking ‘humanised’ bear.
In this film I play the leading role of Chairman, and Wojtek is mute. However, this is no children’s story of Baloo or Yogi. Wojtek is a story for everyone.
The film has picked up various awards both here in the UK and internationally, and was shorlisted for an Academy Award nomination and also received an Annie Award nomination.

Every single voiceover project is different. For a corporate brand video or commercial, you may for instance, be looking for a voice to inspire, excite, or inform your audience. Or perhaps a blend of these things. You might be looking for a voice that is friendly, warm, sincere and reassuring.
An audio drama will demand a very believable character whose individual relationships within the drama appear completely real. All the emotions the character shifts through in the story must be honest from moment to moment. Their emotional journey is what will carry your audience through the story.
Atmospheric visuals and soundscapes whet the appetite for storytelling.
I’m proud of my heritage and I jumped at the opportunity to add my voice to this project for a popular produce which is a very identifiable part of Scotland’s character – something unique and distinct. Just like the island of Islay itself.
One of my favourite films is ‘Gone with the Wind’ and as I watch this video, I find myself drawn to Gerald O’Hara’s immortals words of advice to his daughter Scarlett: “….land is the only thing in the world worth workin’ for, worth fightin’ for, worth dyin’ for, because it’s the only thing that lasts”.
Aye, never a truer word said Gerald, and occasionally we make great whisky from it too!
This video is used on Islay Mist’s website home page (the play film option).
TV advert for BBC Scotland promoting the upcoming British Bantamweight Boxing match between Kash Farooq v Kyle Williams.
Being fanatical about sport, and especially combat sports, it was a treat having the opportunity to work on this TV advert for BBC Scotland. Billed as ‘The Battle of Britain’ we Scots just love competing against our old sporting neighbours and friendly foes!
