Meet the One Voice Team

One Voice was started by Hugh Edwards and Peter Dickson, who both have extensive experience on both sides of the mic. Hugh has become a prolific voice director and casting director who has worked on over 200 titles; while Peter is the UK’s most recognisable voiceover artist, having been the voice of E4, The Price Is Right, The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent in his 40 plus year career.

With their unique perspectives, Hugh and Peter understood the need for clear communication and wanted to create a voiceover conference which gave an open platform for anyone who had something to teach or learn about voiceover. They wanted to create a conference which gave new talent and ideas a place to flourish and change the industry.

In an industry built around voices, they wanted to give each and every member of our incredible community somewhere to share their experiences and take the industry into a bright and creative future. And that’s why the One Voice conference is open to you!

Individually, we are many voices; but when we come together, we are One Voice!

Peter Dickson

Peter Dickson - Founder & Voiceover Deity

Known to millions simply as “Voiceover Man” Peter Dickson is the best-known and most sought-after voice talent in the UK and arguably the world.

Peter’s voice has featured on over 30 AAA game titles including Fable and Kinect Sports, he has voiced over 30,000 TV and Radio commercials, been the promo voice on over 60 channels, been the featured voice on over 200 TV shows and he was the voice of the London 2012 Olympic Games Beach Volleyball.

In a national poll in the UK, he was voted as having one of the top three iconic UK voices of the decade.

From vocal work on radio and TV commercials, commentary for big international stadium events, corporate narration, multimedia games, animation and prime-time TV shows – “Voiceover Man” is at the top of everyone’s list.

He is the “go to” Voice Over for global TV mogul Simon Cowell. His voice has featured on Britain’s Got Talent since 2007 and The X Factor since 2004, introducing world-class acts onto one of the biggest stages in entertainment television on the planet. Peter is committed to passing on the knowledge he as learned over a stellar career lasting over 40 years. On the subject of teaching and training he said:

“While voiceover training in the USA has had a mainstream presence for many years, here in the UK it has been largely a hit and miss affair.

With Gravy for the Brain’s voiceover education programme and core training courses both e-learning and studio based, Hugh and I hope to change all that. The ethos of the company is to allow anyone to explore the world of voiceover and to allow established professionals to improve on their skills and to interact with other professionals in a supportive environment – in their own time and at their own pace.”

“We have developed our programme of courses in conjunction with the very best experts in their chosen field and we’ve gone to great lengths to make them fun and accessible. Whether you want to study at home on your PC, on your tablet on the move or in a live course at a professional working studio, you can now do all of this - with Gravy for the Brain”.

By night he runs around stages, climbing on amps and screaming till his lungs nearly explode in his metal band 'I Cried Wolf'. Harry’s band is signed to Crooked Noise Records and they're climbing the underground-metal ladder fast! You can find out more about the band and Harry's exploits on their Facebook page if you want!
