Meet The Geeks

“Hyyyy! I have been ‘in the industry’ in various forms working for other folk as a journalist, games streamer, Youtube Presenter etc for nearly a decade, and now I have settled-down with my own team. Plus, I’m totally a voice artist now, with a home studio and everything! It’s all really hard work, but it’s awesome. I hope someday that I’ll be doing audiobooks, films/tv and video games, rather than answering machines and e-learning videos (which is where I’m currently at!). Side-note: I’m autistic and physically disabled, so I’m hoping to help with representation of those minorities.”
