Nick Foulds

My Name is Nick, I am a qualified Osteopath and have been a multi activity instructor for years. Mainly climbing and Snowboarding/Skiing but many others included.
This gives me plenty of vocal experience in regards to delivery. Having had to deliver forceful projected instructions to climbers half way up a cliff face & to snowboarders heading off into the fog of a low visibility mountain top, through to breaking bad news about health situations to patients and understanding tones when dealing with emotional or delicate issues.
Both roles of my life prior to VO work have given me plenty of experience in empathy. I have found this really allows me to get into the role of a character and understand what the author or game's narrative developer is wanting the character to be feeling and emoting in their voice.
I was brought up in rural hertfordshire and started to develop the local accent (which I can turn on when needed), this was something my father wasn't best pleased about and he made sure that I was schooled appropriately in a non-region broad English accent as my day to day voice. This leaves me without particular nuance to my voice unless I choose to include it which for this industry is pretty helpful!
