Roll Up, Roll Up

Are you looking for the world-famous Talking Man?

Needing the finest voiceover artistry this side of the pyramids?

Wanting someone to wax lyrical over your amazing video footage?

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 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 had a lot of practice and being honest I think it shows in my graceful interpretation of spoken communication (there’s documented evidence further down this page that shows that I’ve convinced other people to think this way too).

Whilst most people spend their lives talking for free. I’ve managed to convince a select few that it would be much better all round 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. The chosen few also pay me for the privilege! Are you amongst the elite?

what do i do (in order of importance)

I read stuff out loud.
I can change my voice a bit and do some accents.
I drink pints and eat pies (in moderation - some might say).
I pronounce big words well.
If I mess it up, I say it again until it's right.

Fun
Fact:

My state of the art, thoroughly disinfected studio, has previously been the home of a religious radio show, a large legal firm and a rude adult only internet TV channel (hence the disinfectant).

Let me show you some samples of work I’ve done recently (a bit like the lucky-lucky man peddling his wares in Malia… ooooo shiny things, you want to buy).

what do other people think?

Testimonial slider – make up some funny ones maybe or use real ones?!?!

Not only do people write stuff and tell me how good I am, but VOX, One Voice and my Mum have all given me awards. Look:

I’ve worked on loads of different projects too from household names like The Walking Dead and Porsche, to smaller businesses and corporate marketing. Many moons ago, I once recorded a voicemail for a friend who had a scaffolding company in Inverness. He paid me in shortbread, haggis and Scotch. Which leads me nicely on to…

how much will this cost me?

£100-£250

I’ll say a small amount of stuff. I’ll say it once and if we both think it’s OK (and only ‘OK’, we’re done). IVR messages, short voiceovers, that sort of thing.

£250-£1,000

More words than the previous one and I’ll do a deeper/husky/sexier voice (choose as applicable - other voices available on request). At this sort of range you’ll get corporate video, short ads and so on.

£1,000-£2,500

I’ll read aloud for a while now. Let’s redo it a few times and I’ll even crack a few jokes in between recordings. A radio ad on multiple stations, short TV work and the like.

£2,500-£10,000

Small books, short films, I’ll talk for a good few hours now, over a small number of days. I might even treat you to a 2-for-Tuesdays dominos pizza if we’re working midweek and you seem a good laugh. You’re getting serious now with TV work, documentaries and national radio campaigns, etc.

£10,000+

Take me to the library and I’ll start reading whatever you want. I’ll stay as long as there's food and water (maximum stay is 4 weeks and I’m taking weekends off).
