Williams, Nigel
Nigel worked as a voiceover artist with LWT from 1990. Nigel tells us: “I was auditioned by producer Steve Allen in 1990 to provide the voice for a young and trendy overnight sequence that never saw the light of day. When the promotions department was looking for a ‘younger’ image to promote the Saturday night Baywatch, Blind Date, Gladiators sequence, I was recalled and became the guy who did the ‘big sell’. After presenting the head of promotions with a demo of more mature, subtle delivery, I was allowed greater freedom in my style and eventually became the lead brand image voice with Trish Bertram.”
Nigel continued to work for network ITV and was also the presenter of Late Night Love Songs on Heart 106.2 in London.
