Bio

Richard is a dynamic, character-led British voice actor from the North West of England. Born in Wigan, raised in Yorkshire and now based in Bolton, Richard brings a grounded northern authenticity paired with the flexibility of a trained character performer.

With a natural ear for accents, Richard’s range spans the UK — from Bolton, Manchester and Liverpool through Yorkshire, RP and West Country to Cockney, Geordie and Scottish. His versatility extends far beyond home soil, with skilled American North and South reads and a growing catalogue of European flavours, including French, Italian and Eastern European. Whether delivering a natural conversational read or dialling into rich character work, Richard’s tone switches easily between warm, trustworthy narration and bold, edgy performance.

Richard’s grounding in performance began early, training at Stagecoach Performing Arts before moving into TV work as a young actor. He appeared in a string of popular British shows including Children’s Ward, Verdict, Mrs Bradley Mysteries, Sci-Busters, and Heartbeat, working alongside screen legends such as Dame Diana Rigg and Sarah Lancashire. The experience cemented a lifelong storytelling instinct and a physical performance style that now translates naturally to voice, particularly in gaming and animation.

On mic, Richard has voiced commercial and brand projects including work for New Art Gallery, alongside audiobook narration for Audible, most notably the children’s title Rooty the Rutabaga. His current focus spans video games, commercial campaigns, and comedy-led character work, where his vocal agility and instinctive performance choices deliver standout reads.

Richard records from his own treated home studio, powered by a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Studio microphone and interface, ensuring fast turnaround and broadcast-ready delivery.

A northern storyteller with modern range, Richard brings depth, humour and a fearless creative edge to every project.
