About Me and My Voice Over Style

Hey!

So as you may have assumed from my website name Manchester VO, I’m a voiceover artist from Manchester!

Whilst I am very much a Northern Voice over, I don’t have a typically strong Manchester accent.  I can dial it up to full ‘Liam Gallagher’ if you need it, but largely my tones are mostly known for being Warm, Friendly and Relatable with a light Manchester accent.

However, I love to drop my voice into my lower range and deliver reads with alot more grit, gravitas and emotion, which work really well for emotive sports promos or scripts that have alot of depth and emotion to them to tell a story

All my work is approached with the same ethos; authenticity.

Whether that be a corporate script that’s easy to listen to and digest or from a passionate sports fan dialing up the gravitas,  the core foundation of all my work is to connect to the audience

I was a student for 2 years at the Manchester School of Acting, one of Manchester’s premier and well renowned schools, to improve on my craft.  

These skills contributed towards me getting nominated for awards for performances like this one for Caritas Salford

Genres I provide Voiceovers in.

Typically the main types of media I provide voiceover for are

TV/Radio Commercials
Sports Promos
Corporate & Explainer Videos
Voice Acting (Gaming /Audio Drama)
Performance Capture / Mo-Cap
Dubbing
IVR (Interactive Voice Response)

You can visit my demos page to get a more comprehensive look at my portfolio, here 

Have a look below to see the studio space I work in…

I operate from a fully equipped professional home studio, allowing me to deliver high-quality recordings efficiently.

However, I’m always happy to travel to clients’ studios for in-person sessions if that’s what you prefer. Let’s create something amazing together!

Voice Over Award Nominations

Throughout my career, I’ve been privileged to receive 7 award nominations for my work. 

For me, receiving an award nomination is a win itself; thousands of pieces of work from excellent voiceover talent are judged and only a small handful make the shortlist.

To be amongst these incredibly talented voiceover artists numerous times is a privilege and a testament to my passion and dedication to my work
