Roll up! Roll up!
Are you looking for the world-famous Talking Man?
Needing the finest voiceover artistry this side of the pyramids?
Wanting a delighted Northerner to wax lyrical over your amazing television promo, radio campaign, or a video about your cats?
You are in the RIGHT place!
Crack out a fresh packet of digestives and let the show begin…
Who am I?
I’m Jack, the amazing talking man.
I grew up in Carlisle the comedy king of the country (apparently!) and from my early start as the amazing talking toddler, I flourished into the amazing talking child, quickly followed by the talking teen and then strode on into the boots of the amazing talking man I am today.
I’ve lent my vocal chords to Tesco, Wickes, NickToons, Virgin TV, Porsche, KFC and Tui. I’ve welcomed you to shows like Family Guy, American Dad and the snooker as well as narrating a few shows about dogs, which retrieved golden reviews.
I’ve had a lot of practice and being honest I think it shows in my interpretation of spoken communication (there’s documented evidence further down that shows I’ve convinced other people to think this too).
Hey pay attention!
Whilst most people spend their lives talking for free, I’ve managed to convince a select few it would be much better if they shut up and I talk on their behalf.
They write it down, I speak it out, machines record it and sometimes it’s on the telly.
There’s no word too big or small – every letter of the alphabet can be spoken (the Greek alphabet will cost you more, though.)
Are you a legend?

Fancy form
What do I do?
- I read stuff out loud.
- I sound enthusiastic, adoring and like I genuinely believe in the stuff you’re peddling.
- I drink pints and eat pies (in moderation – some might say).
- I’ve got an ear massaging Northern accent which is like gravy for the senses.
- If I mess it up, I say it again until it’s right.
- I hopelessly adore Carlisle United
Fun fact
My state of the art, thoroughly disinfected studio, has previously been the home of a religious TV channel, Kids TV channel and a rude adult-only internet TV channel (hence the disinfectant)
*non of the above activities or belief systems or anything previously associated with the building my office is within, or the rumors around it, has any legal bearing on the words I speak for you.
**Ask me about some of the stories though…Woah!
Are you ready for audible gold?
Mostly recorded in my own professional studio but some of it in a studio where they serve coffee in tiny cups.
What do other people think though?
A small selection of the best of the best from reviews and comments I’ve had from happy clients. If you doubt the credibility of any of my testimonials, just give me a call and I’ll convince you otherwise.
Awards and nominations...
Awards and nominations
...
Not only have I achieved my blue swimming badge, cycling proficiency and a lolly for being brave at the dentists which isn’t at all ironic, but VOX, One Voice and my Mum have all given me recognition.
In fact, since I started all this talking stuff I’ve won 9 British Voiceover Awards and ‘Best International Voiceover Performance’, which was open to all Voice Overs outside the USA and Canada. Bored at work? Take a look:

Where are you?
I live in Newcastle and I’ve got a girlfriend and two dogs. I’ve also got a nifty studio in Gateshead (just next to the river Tyne). You’re more than welcome to come over and talk about me talking so you don’t have to talk, but PLEASE don’t just rock up expecting a warm welcome. I’m an in-demand, busy guy with millions of YouTube videos STILL to watch – so let me know you want to come to see me. I’ll make sure I have fresh milk ready for a brew and I’ve cleaned any suspect items from my general work area. You’ll get the right impression from our meeting and not leave thinking “that was weird, what’s with the funky smell and why does it sound like someone’s tied up in the cupboard?!?”
That all said...
I am familiar with transportation and modern technology and have worked across the UK at various times.
You come to me, I come to you, we do it all virtually or we meet in a shady car park midway and mutter things into your iPhone microphone while people look on with disgust.
In a nutshell, neither my nor your location is important here, we can work together and will figure it out, hopefully without either of us obtaining a criminal record for trespass during the process. ‘Fact Check’ – trespass is not a crime.
Can I contact you?
If you prefer to deal with agents, that’s absolutely fine because this is an opportunity to casually namedrop I’m with Excellent Talent in London. You can contact them here.
