I am a dual Australian and British national and I am permanently based in Melbourne, Australia.

My experience as an actor:

I trained as an actor in London at the Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA, now defunct), graduating in 1989.  My training included voice acting and microphone techniques.

While an actor in the UK, I performed almost exclusively in theatre in a variety of roles and venues.  These included roles in productions of:

  • Shakespeare (King Lear, Richard III, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado About Nothing, Romeo and Juliet) and Marlowe (Edward II). 
  • I appeared in productions of modern classics and adaptations of novels (The Plough and the Stars, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Kes.
  • I have also performed in musicals and traditional pantomimes (Pacific Overtures, Piaf, Privates on Parade, Jack and the Beanstalk, Sleeping Beauty.) 

All these experiences have contributed to the versatility of my voice acting capabilities.

I am currently completing multi-narrator audiobook productions of Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë (reading Heathcliff and Joseph) and of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (reading Demetrius and Snug).  I have future Shakespeare audiobook projects lined up later in 2023 with Comedy of Errors (reading the Dromio twins) and As You Like It (reading Orlando).  All of these will be published in the future through Blackstone Audio.
