From starting in live radio work in Dublin, Ireland in 1993, Michael was a presenter, a producer, a voice-over for others, and a trainer for college graduates in preparing their voice for live radio. This came from a love of old radio comedians of a bygone era from The Goons, Jonathan Winters, Richard Pryor and the Monty Python records he grew up with. He started shouting into a cassette recorder aged 14 and hasn't stopped since. Training followed in a broadcasting degree, then English language training as a teacher, then to learning-on-the-job as each voice-over job gives you more confidence for the next.

Writing and recording his own audio dramas for the last 30 years of which have been broadcast on Irish radio. Delivering branded English voice-over for the Czech state broadcaster in its exhibitions across the world. Voicing the English cartoons of Czech Television for DVD.

He records loys of different vocal styles, and delivers great audio in rapid turnaround, which comes from engineering deep sound design on his audio dramas and editing others' audio for commercial output as a sound producer.
