About Me
With over 20 years in the business, I'm a disciplined, meticulous, physical actor, and a passionate, adaptive voice artist with permanent bases in LA, London and Dublin. I average over 1000 voice overs a year and, in Dec 2016, won best actor in a screen drama. Most recent video game work includes playing 8 characters in the highly successful Witcher 3.
Being from Ireland originally, but having lived in the UK for the past 20 years, I have a large range of accents including: all Irish accents, Northern Irish, RP, Scottish, a variety of British regional accents, various American accents (including Gen Am), Russian, Polish, French, German, Austrian, Dutch... - pretty much anything apart from Welsh!
My passion for Shakespeare, text and language is backed up with a Masters in Voice and Singing. I love the sea and am a qualified sailing captain and nitrox scuba diver. My three sons keep me down to earth, as does running an established company delivering Shakespeare Workshops in schools.
