Even as a young child he regularly devoured audiobooks, taking weekly trips to the local library to borrow cassette tapes and CDs, revelling in the talent of great artists such as Nigel Planer, Kerry Shale, Pete Bradbury and Stephen Fry. There was never any doubt that he would one day follow in their footsteps. Trained at the prestigious Academy of Live and Recorded Arts (ALRA), one of London's top drama colleges, Barney honed his skill in all fields of performance, earning a full BA with honours in Acting. Since graduation he has performed in some of Britain's best known and loved theatres in a variety of pieces and styles. Barney's journey to becoming a fully fledged voice artist truly began when he undertook further training with voice over industry veteran Guy Michaels on the widely acclaimed Voiceover Kickstart programme. To keep his skills in top condition he also regularly trains with the Gravy For The Brain organisation run by the legendary Hugh Edwards. Now a full time voice artist, working out of his purpose built home studio in Greater Manchester, Barney has voiced projects for clients around the globe including some household names such as Fiat, Credit Suisse, The University of Cambridge, Haven Holidays, Think Insurance, Perry’s Motor Sales LTD, Lawsons, CheckMOT, Wally and Wiz, Balton Sound Festival, Entertain Me UK (Documentaries and Reality TV Production House), Spectre LED, AuraTours and the medical organisation Health Care Futurists based in the EU. He is represented by the top tier agency Voice Fox based out of Brighton, UK. With close to a decade of performance experience, an excellent ear, and a bright, confident and an effortlessly warm and genuine voice Barney knows exactly how to produce an outstanding voice over for any situation. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- EQUIPMENT Working out of his purpose built, professional home studio just outside Manchester in England, UK, Barney produces top quality audio for his clients.
