a little more about me
Described as "a natural story teller", “good conversationalist”, I'm a pretty good (dare I say perfect) blend of smart British sophistication and a welcoming, authenticity.
I work primarily in short-form, so commercials, corporate, brand films but I've also done lots of work in audio guides and elearning as well.
No matter the script, my objective is to deliver a message that is genuine, which always helps listeners understand it more clearly.
This comes from his hard working and professional attitude, always aiming to go above and beyond your expectations.
My voice has been described by clients as inspiring, joyful, warm, friendly, deep, playful and in-charge, though I rarely focus on the actual "sound" of my voice. Modern voice over is a performance, closer to acting than anything.
I live near Rome, and I'm native British RP English and fluent in Standard Italian. I've lived in Italy since 1999.
With a keen ear for pronunciation and accents, I am is highly adept at accents and languages. For example, I used a Yorkshire accent for Canali's Fall/Winter 2023 campaign, and a Mid-Atlantic accent for Braun's NEVO reveal.
I am exceptionally good at pronouncing and seamlessly switching to foreign vocabulary, as well as learning new obscure terms and words and quickly making them fit.
This means not only British voice overs, but English voice overs in many accents.
Ok.. but who am I?
Though I sound British and have been educated in an English school, I am both British and Italian, and have lived in Italy since 1999. At first in Milan, then in Capranica (about 1 hour north of Rome).
My Italian origins are from the "Puglia" region.
Every summer we'd go there, swim and develop a very intense appreciation of quality food, because it was unavoidable when I grew up.
Now I live in the countryside near Viterbo (1 hour north of Rome), surrounded by cats (we have adopted a lot of strays), wild boars, buzzards, hazelnuts and olive groves. This region is quite special given its connection to the Etruscans, a people that predate ancient Rome... but I'll stop myself before it gets too long.
This life lead me to explore many passions, like wood-fire oven cooking, pizza making, wildlife photography and more. One of my current hobbies is sourdough baking to make sure my family has quality bread every week.
Before ever recording into a microphone I used to be an English and multi-subject tutor, with a knack for helping people's speaking skills and pronunciation, though I was once genuinely exploring a career in wildlife photography.
