    About this audiobook

    ‘Voice Over Man’, is a fascinating insight into the life of one of the world’s most prolific voice-over artists. It’s a frank and very personal account of his career. Not in the full glare of the spotlight, but in the dark spaces behind the scenes that the public never get to see. From barking like a dog on pet food commercials – to his universally recognised work on the world’s biggest television shows – ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ together with countless video games and live events – he recounts the highs and lows of his deeply unconventional career. If you liked; ‘The Larry Sanders Show’,‘W1A’, ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘Toast Of London’ – you’ll love this!

    Unlike, Kleenex or Clorox, Peter Dickson is not a household name so while he may not be very effective at or indeed remotely interested in cleaning under your rim or around your U-Bend, his voice is heard in every household in the United Kingdom and beyond; every hour of every day, of every year. From selflessly lending his vocal talent to: radio and TV commercials, video games, documentaries, radio programmes, interactive telephone systems, corporate audio and video productions, game shows and family friendly TV broadcast entertainment behemoths, he is quite literally all over the ruddy place!

    From barking like a dog on pet food commercials and shouting about pizzas and furniture to his universally recognised work on the world’s biggest talent shows – ‘The X Factor’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, to yelling “Come On Down!” as Bruce Forsyth’s sidekick on ‘The Price Is Right’ on TV in the UK and putting the ‘spring’, into Jerry Springer – to the whacky world of ‘Mr Mad’ ‘Voiceover Man,’ and other characters on BBC Radio 1, he recounts the highs and lows of his deeply unconventional career.

    Peter Dickson

    Pete Dickson is an incredibly talented filmmaker. I have known him now for two decades and my admiration for his work and his immense artistic contribution to our country only continue to grow.More importantly, Pete is a wonderful person. He is a loving father, husband, son and brother who is part of a big family. All families can speak of the love and the pain that you witness across the years, how you deal with the challenges of life and the difficulties of coping with tragedy, and the long-term impact that events can have upon you.In this book, Pete honours the life of his late brother Rob, his hero and his best friend. It tells exquisitely the story of his own journey through life, from the child finding his own way in a big family, to an adult finding his way in a big world. At times it's tough, and at other times it's joyous. It is filled with triumph, disappointment, happiness and terrible grief, and is a compelling story I urge you to read because it centres around love.Gillon McLachlan.
