Voice Work

Dubbing, voice over and narration in English, Spanish and Catalan of stories, ads, language courses, commercial videos, cartoons, theatre narration, etc.
If you click here you will be taken to my web full of examples of voice work I have done over the years.


Presenter/Moderator/MC

Presenter/MC in Catalan, Spanish, French and English for conventions, congresses, business meetings and parties, for Barcelona City Hall, Ascari, Samsung Lufthansa, Amnesty International or the 19th World Petroleum Congress among many others, both in Spain and abroad (Britain, Italy, Sweden, Austria, Canada, Germany, France … ) in places such as a Formula 1 race track in Ronda, a business centre in Toronto, a design hotel on Portugal’s Atlantic coast, Barcelona’s Liceu operahouse or a boat on the Rhine. The work carried out has meandered between the most extreme protocol in the presence of the Spanish King Juan Carlos I, to the funniest of humour with a marked British way of understanding comedy, although without the accent when required.

My QR ... please feel free, scan me!

What's happening now...

So ... life goes on, work is done and we carry on. This year has seen me back on stage in Via 870 in theatres in Catalunya and Mallorca, a quick ad with Ian Pons Jewell and various and many auditions a day's work on  new Netflix series. Fortunately I did lots of wedding ceremonies so the bank is happy about that.

Plats Bruts ...

This had to be here since it is what I am most famous for here, the very last of what has become a cult comedy show seen by everyone in Catalunya ... Plats Bruts ... very happy to have done it.

This is my voice studio, and thank goodness for it! Lots of work done here so why not click on the photo and check out what you find ...

Presenting One Billion SmilesAwards for PepsiCo in Geneva, February 2020! Managed to squeeze that one in before ...

Yeh ... I finally played Tin Tin, 100 hundred years after he was drawn and me a mere 53! It was for Lufthansa, in Brussels, a gig I have been doing for 20 years, what a milestone. A few years back I played Karl Lagerfeld RIP (see below) so have gone back to the immortals.

The above was an acting job for the Costa Daurada in Saint Martin in the Fields, London, with holograms of me included. It was a success and hopefully the start of many more! 

With Freddie and Montserrat in Barcelona's Olympic Stadium!
