About Karl
As well as being a voiceover talent, I’m a successful writer and content creator. My 18-year media track record spans documentary production, copywriting and digital publishing.
I’m a natural storyteller with a passion for engaging and inspiring diverse audiences across different media using a wide range of registers and tones of voice.
And with extensive experience as a writer and editor — including BBC Television documentary creation and scripting of drive-time radio spots — I can also help when it comes to working on scripts.
I’ve been an active, recording drummer for over 20 years too. As a result, I’ve developed a strong sense of rhythm and cadence plus a fundamental understanding of audio production and quality.
Above all, I’m a committed professional driven by a single, unswerving goal: to elevate each and every project I work on, meeting deadlines and delivering exceptional results.
Natural accent: Neutral British RP
Native accents: Faint Bristol burr / Slight South Wales lilt
Also fluent in many other accents, including heightened/prestige RP English, general American and various regional British and American accents.

How it works
Here’s how the process typically works. Send me a script, along with any direction, and then I’ll bring it to life.
I’ll record the session at my fully equipped home studio — which ensures first-rate audio quality. Then I’ll promptly edit the recording and send you the files in the required format (WAV, AIFF, etc.). All standard bit depths (24-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, etc.) and sample rates (48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, etc.) are likewise supported.
If you’d like to listen and give direction in real time, I’m also happy to connect for live sessions via Source-Connect, Cleanfeed, Zoom, FaceTime, etc. And I’ll gladly provide a round or two of retakes, pickups or other amends if required.
I can turn around shorter-form projects within 24 hours, including any revisions.
And I’ll manage the process professionally end to end — from thoughtful reading of the script, through skilful recording and editing, to sending files for review and delivering the final product.
I look forward to working with you — and being the voice of your exciting new project.
How it started
I first became interested in doing voiceover work through my roles in other media spaces.
After writing the script for a BBC Television documentary, I was inspired by the way my words leapt off the page thanks to the work of a voiceover artist.
Later, colleagues in digital publishing remarked that I had a natural voice for voiceover work (little knowing this is just the tip of the iceberg…). So I did some takes for an online video they were producing.
I also recalled how I’d placed second in regional inter-school poetry-reading finals and been marked out by drama and city youth theatre teachers for a career in acting. Degrees in English Literature (BA, First Class) and Critical and Cultural Theory (MA) would take me down a different path, however.
Long story short, though, the seed was sown. Next, I completed ‘The Recorded Voice’, a program by leading British voice actor and voiceover coach Guy Michaels, before having valuable one-to-one coaching sessions with Guy.
Equipped with the knowledge from this training and wide-ranging research, I then turned the idea into reality. I honed my skills at the mic through rigorous daily practice on many different scripts. I set up my home studio — the space I’d need to produce broadcast-quality audio recordings. And I moved into the world of professional voiceover and began winning clients.
