With 22 years as a Theatre professional in many different countries, I’ve found the best ways to communicate with extremely variable audiences & workforces, sensitive to each project’s needs.

"David showed nothing but enthusiasm, talent and utter professionalism when we had the pleasure of working with him on Last Epoch."

⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ John, Eleventh Hour Games

This has given me a great grounding in character work,  timing, storytelling, keeping a view of the bigger picture and clarity in language & dramaturgy.  It also gives me the ability to think quickly and creatively in a technical environment.
​
I also love my work on audio-dramas, role-play training & animation characters with its need for fast-thinking and numerous emotional switches.

"His strong acting ability in addition to his well-trained voice makes him highly suited not only to narration and corporate projects but also to layered characters in a dramatic audio play series."
⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ Director, The New Adventures of Jules Verne
​
I really enjoy my job and pride myself on being easy to work with.

I was born & raised in the south of bonnie Scotland to English parents and with relatives all around the UK.
This has given me a good understanding of accents and speech patterns from around the UK.
​
I travelled to London to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and stayed in the city for 20 years.

I spent 22 years as a freelance Lighting Designer for theatre productions, working with teams
all around the UK, Europe, US and internationally; working for companies and venues including National Theatre, RSC, Philharmonia Orchestra, Royal Festival Hall, Buckingham Palace, Malmö State Theatre, Royal Exchange and San Francisco Symphony, among others. 

A few years ago my family and I 'retired' from London to pastures new:

​

The very middle of the middle-of-nowhere in the very peaceful middle

of England... and we love it...

La Serva Padrona
James and the Giant Peach

...and we got a cat; he's called Five.

My Family

WHY YOU?

Knowing the need for an exceptional acoustic space, I have had a building converted to exacting standards to become my studio. 
 
Now, as a result of these standards, along with acoustic panelling, hanging baffles, felted walls and high-density foam, my studio offers a recording environment exceeding Broadcast Quality standards.
​
I have also invested in state-of-the-art voice recording hardware and software to make sure everything about your project is flawless and fast.

To rent a studio like this for a recording session would cost a pretty penny... but, 
it's all included in my pricing.

CAN YOU GUARANTEE QUALITY?

As an experienced Voice Professional I deliver exactly what your project needs, whatever that may be,
Thoughtfully, Courteously & Quickly


I aim to not only achieve Maximum Engagement from all listeners, but from each one independently & on their own terms. I speak to people as individuals, en masse.

      If your project is fast, upbeat & with a very specific direction…
      If you have a sensitive topic that's taken months to write & you’re not quite sure how it should be delivered…
      If you need your project finished by tomorrow & you’ve only just begun…
      If you have a tongue-in-cheek animation & you need 3, no - 4, no - wait!.. 5 different characters/styles…

… then let me help you!

​
"Working with David has been an absolute pleasure.
His responsibility and reliability make him a valuable asset to any project."
Juan Carlos, Iberian Media

Here’s my promise to you:
In the unlikely event there is something you need which I am unable to provide

(eg. the voice of a teenager from Llandudno) - I’ll find the right person for you!

So there’s nothing to stop you!


Get in touch now to discuss what you need.

 YOUR PROJECT, of course!
