Overview
Hello there. I’m an actor and voice artist with over 30 years’ experience across radio, television, commercials and heritage projects. My natural speaking voice is a warm RP, and I give a great, clear “straight” read that’s ideal for narration. I’m also an experienced storyteller and book narrator with a range of accents and character voices. Outside work I’m a keen swimmer, science-fiction enthusiast and admirer of writers from Saki and E F Benson to Iain M Banks and Sylvia Townsend Warner.

Richard, with his outstanding command of English, offers various pronunciations for certain words in his audio files. For instance, he pronounced the word Byzantine in three different ways. He is always very kind and considerate so that he even takes the job one step further and splits the audios the way I need them. I am very happy to be working with him and I wish to continue our business partnership in every project possible. I think other clients should work with Richard as well!

Richard did an excellent job as always. Over time, we have developed a smoother work flow. In this specific project, Richard delivered the audio files exactly according to my previous requests. I had great time listening to his voice and editing them. Will work with him again!

As always, Richard delivered a perfect audio file for our project. He was very cooperative and had a great pace throughout the project. He gave me feedback about our word list and helped me improve the project through his keen eyes. Based on my experiences with him, I advise other clients to consider working with Richard :)

Richard is an amazing voice over artist. He is very cooperative and understanding. I, personally, could be nitpicking from time to time. However, he answered all my questions and carried out my complicated requests with patience. Besides, he is very detail oriented and did more than I have asked for. These qualities show that Richard is an outstanding artist.
I definitely advise clients to work with Richard!
