Having travelled and lived in many parts of the world, Rob has an expansive and unusual vocal range of accents and impersonations from a variety of countries and cultures.

Rob is pretty easy-going, which makes him a director’s dream. He’s a one-take wonder with fast turnaround time in the studio and he brings a confident approach to every project.

Remote work isn’t a problem either. Rob is able to link-up with studios and directors across the world via his Source Connect enabled studio.

He records for clients from all over the world, including Comedy Central Africa and the Middle East, sports networks, retail chains, animation projects, TV promo studios, commercial outlets, auto companies and he performs a host of impersonations ranging from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Nelson Mandela.

Rob’s dulcet tones can be heard on tv, radio, corporate presentations, online and a variety of other media. A masterful impressionist, Rob is able to unnervingly inhabit many famous personalities, but his bread and butter comes from his neutral baritone delivery.
