The Callbox Guy Next Door

The Trusted British Voice for Documentaries, Audiobooks & eLearning ?? 100+ Audiobooks | 100+ Documentary Credits ??? Tired of the joy being sucked out of the creative process? Let's talk…
Callbox Guy is part of my business branding, and the creation of Nikki Saco, my Graphic Designer.
A shadowy figure in black, he evokes a very British superhero: a James Bond-like figure who slips in and gets tough jobs done neatly, with a minimum of fuss – and without drawing too much attention to himself in the process. Just like a good Voiceover Artist, in fact…
Along with my branding tag line, "The guy next door. Only better. And British." (for which I have Celia Siegel to thank), this combination of graphics, words and whimsy seems to have contributed to mine being one of the most instantly recognisable and well-liked brands in the voiceover business.
"I saw this and thought of you…"
In the end, friends started sending me their own Callbox Guy pictures, so I decided to start a gallery page on my website, which gives me a nice opportunity to link back to my colleagues' own sites.
Check out these three for starters (find out more about them on the gallery page) – and if you have your own pic then please send it along to [email protected]
