Writer, broadcaster and voiceover artist. 

 

       

I'm Simon Talbot, a writer and broadcaster who has based his entire career on a love of the written and spoken word. I also love music but sadly am unable to play a note or hold a tune.

English Heritage, Historic Scotland and The National Gallery are just three of the organizations for whom I have written audio tours. My words have also guided thousands of visitors around The Taj Mahal, The Bahrain National Charter Monument and the cities of Milan and Munich. 

I regularly broadcast on BBC Radio and the Discovery Channel has used my voice for a documentary pilot.

It still really gets on my nerves that I can't play the guitar.

 .......Or can I ?

  This is what i look like

WRITER

I spent four years working in advertising as a copywriter before deciding to pursue other writing challenges.

From audio guides to newspaper articles I combine an accessible style with thorough research.

From straight reads to character voices, TV documentaries to on-hold messages i often describe my voice as "A silken kimono dipped in Belgian chocolate" but then I would wouldn't I?
