About MckenzieVoice.com and the voice behind mckenzievoice.

I didn't start out in the Voice Over (VO) industry, not many people do jump straight into voicing. Some voice over artists come from a purely acting background, many people come from radio related background and others become voiceover artists with little or no experience and just a love of voicing and using their voices to convey a thought, an emotion, sell a product or to tell a story.

I fall in to the last category, I will always remember my careers advisor informing me when I said I wanted to be a chef, "There's no money in being a chef!" "You will be working long hours with not too many prospects." Thanks to my careers advisor being bad at her job and not instilling confidence in me her student, this lead me to many jobs from a lumberjack to a printer and a photographer to a computer engineer, amongst other jobs.

My last assignment before moving to Turkey was as a Computer Support, Desktop and Network Support technician. I gained three MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional) exams from Microsoft during this time and a wealth of other computer knowledge. I was based in London and worked within the BBC via a contracting company. I now live with my Turkish born wife and my two children.

Whilst in Turkey, a new country for me and with no Turkish language skills it was hard to get the same kind of work I was used to. I gained a CELTA certificate and taught English. I then discovered my childhood passion of sound which lead me to voiceover (VO) work. I always had an interest in sound and editing of sound and when I discovered you can actually make record voiceovers working from your own home studio, I was hooked.

Whether a professional production company or a private concern, simply contact me with the relevant details for your project from the Contact Me link and pay by either credit card or PayPal after your quote has been received and you are happy with your demo. I will then then record the voice file to your specifications and you will receive a well performed voice over usually in less than 24 hours.
