Welcome to Just Out Loud

Hi, welcome to my website. If you’ve got this far you may already realise that I am a Voice-Over artist and EFL Teacher. My background is in EFL Teaching and Translation, but I stumbled into voiceover work and narration in particular in 2013, and discovered that a) I loved doing it, and b) people really seemed to like what I recorded, Consequently I have been doing it ever since.  Since I first began recording while living in Spain (recording English language Audio for a tourist trail in Granada, Andalusia), I have been involved in a radio production for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, performing the translations of interviews with people from locations situated along the Pan-American highway, I have voiced numerous Audiobooks, both Fiction and Non-fiction (details may be found within this site), several audio dramas, as well as audio for video games, tourist guides, material for radio broadcast and corporate voiceover.

Feel free to look around, either just scroll down or follow the specific links. There are pages of information regarding my work as well as links to the various sites where you can buy them (should you, of course, be so inclined).

If you would like to listen to some of my audio, check out some of the samples posted below, or follow any of the links related to any of my audiobooks as samples of each book are posted by the retailer.

Please feel free to use the contact form below for any queries.

    I have recorded a variety of fiction titles, in different genres and for readers (listeners) of varying ages. Hopefully there will be something here to suit a wide range of tastes.

    Tales From The Land Of Ononokin by John P. Logsdon and Christopher P. Young.

    I came across these stories when I was browsing online one day looking for a new series of books to read. As an avid Terry Pratchett fan, my attention was caught by these as comparisons had been drawn to his discworld series. I was taken by the opening story within the first chapters and was encouraged to send an audition recording to the authors once I realised they were not available in audio at the time. It was a delight for me when the auditions received a rapturous response and before very long I found myself contracted to record the entire series.

    Starliner (Book 1 in the Intergalactic Investigation Bureau) by John P. Logsdon and Christopher P. Young

    In contrast to the fantasy genre of the Ononokin series, the same writers produced Starliner, a science fiction tale. They applied the same wit and comic mastery to this tale as they did with Ononokin.

    EFL Teaching

    I undertook courses in EFL Teaching while studying Modern Languages at university in Cambridge in 2004, and began teaching English to non native speakers shorty after. I have taught students at all levels, both in face-to-face (classroom) and long-distance (Skype, WhatsApp, Zoom…) settings – teaching beginners and students seeking to improve conversational English, up to those seeking to pass English entrance exams for admittance to university at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

    Today I work using VOIP applications to facilitate easy remote learning opportunities. My students can be anywhere in the world, so long as they have internet, making this system of teaching the most flexible and practical given the restrictions we all face day to day with Covid-19.

    Availability for classes come up regularly so if you are interested in contacting me to discuss your EFL learning needs, then please do so via the contact form.

    If you are an existing student and need to pay for a teaching session, then please do so here or contact me for alternative methods:
