Voice Acting for Comedy
"Laugh as much as possible, always laugh. It's the sweetest thing one can do for oneself and one's fellow human beings."
— Maya Angelou
Making people laugh is the oldest art form around.
But that doesn’t make it easy. It can be difficult to find a voice that understands your sense of humour, gets the tone and delivery just right and isn’t afraid to take risks at the same time. But when something clicks – and when it does, you just know it - the results can be spectacular.
So you think you’re funny?
Well, a little bit. But don’t take it from me; I’ve spent years working as an actor on the London stage, fine-tuning my comedy craft in front of theatre audiences and receiving acclaim from the likes of The Observer, The Stage and WhatOnStage along the way.

What about voiceover?
Sure. I’ve written sketches and voiced multiple characters for the comedy podcast serial Streets of London. I can do deadpan, OTT, satire, parody, absurd, irreverent, political, accents, you name it; anything for a laugh, eh? Add that to my natural feel for timing and you have a recipe for comedy gold, as they say.
Streets of London
Comedy podcast serial in which a seasoned London cabbie regales his passengers with alternate histories of London's most famous landmarks. Expect tall tales, lightly philosophical musings and ludicrous flights of fancy, with a colorful array of supporting characters.
