I am a highly experienced news and sport media professional/broadcast journalist with a well established profile. Versatile, adaptable all rounder with gravitas (news, sport, music (I host my own podcast - Rock’n’Goal), travel - presenter, reporter, producer), 25 years as a presenter, correspondent and producer with Sky. 2018 projects included working in Russia as a Story Features Producer at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and for OBS in Madrid, Segment Reporter for Buenos Aires 2018 Youth Olympic Games. Authoritative presenter and interviewer with sound editorial judgement and skills honed in a fast moving breaking news environment. I’m strong writing creatively to pictures (a dying art in visual media) and can offer sharp news writing, energetic reporting and imaginative feature production across all platforms. As a storyteller I know the importance that engaging emotion brings to narrative. Equally comfortable answering the questions as asking them, I excel in the 'live' broadcast environment, thinking quickly on my feet and reacting calmly under pressure. My strengths include being able to improvise freely in the studio and the field. I was one of the pioneering broadcasters to take news gathering live and mobile with cable-less digital technology (Euro 2004) and also executed award winning, innovative live mobile coverage at the 2012 Olympics. Proven track record reporting and presenting from major sporting events all over the world covering six football World Cups and three Olympic Games. I've interviewed some of the world's biggest sporting stars from Pele to Beckham and many more. On a personal level I'm a lifelong fan of Birmingham City Football Club and devotee of alternative music, especially 'live' music (past contributor, Sky Arts). 'One of the most energetic, creative and finest sports news TV men I've worked with': Dan Roan, BBC Sports Editor, Oct 2017

I'm a freelance video journalist based in London, covering everything from business to culture for a range of TV news channels, including CCTV and Channel News Asia. For a full CV and work samples, check out www.elenacasas.com. I spent much of last year in Ukraine, covering the annexation of Crimea and then the war in the East for various outlets, and previously to that I was AFP video correspondent in Latin America, covering events like the death of Hugo Chavez or slum clearance in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the World Cup. I'm a creative, independent and self-starting video journalist bursting with ideas, and especially keen to tell overlooked stories (I recently spent several weeks in refugee centres in Sicily, for example, telling the stories of African and Syrian migrants who have endured great hardship to reach Europe - something about which we hear a great deal of opinion, but little of the migrants' own voices.)

I am an experienced filmmaker, visual journalist & communications professional with a demonstrated history of producing professional video contents for mainstream, social media & online platforms. Storytelling is my passion and I use different visual forms- video, pictures, animation and graphics to tell stories. I seize every opportunity opportunity to help organisations and individual tell their story and I've been fortunate enough to make a career of it. Stemming from a Journalism and filmmaking background, refined in the corporate communications/marketing world, and further reinforced through a post graduate degree in Visual Journalism & Storytelling, it is very clear to me that this is what I am meant to do. I am and will be a lifelong learner; I find research just as — if not more — enjoyable than content production. This is what makes my videos one of a kind.

Hi, my name’s Mark Ryes, an award-winning British male voiceover artist with over 40 years of experience as a voiceover artist and TV presenter. I began my performing career hosting shows all the way back in the ‘80s. My television work was about as varied as possible, presenting for The Children’s Channel, hosting game shows for ITV and working as a reporter for BBC Radio Four – I’ve certainly learned I’m able to talk to just about any audience. I quickly moved on to live television hosting, where I’ve racked up over 4,000 hours of live TV experience. I love building long working relationships with my clients (even decades long in some cases). I believe the continuity of a singular voice is key to having a strong brand and my approachable and universal British accent is a core aspect of why my voice over work is so trusted by my clients. As an Oxford voiceover, my neutral British accent has allowed me to delve into just about every form of voiceover work there is. I quickly branched out from the UK and my voice is now recognised internationally through my work with global iconic brands such as Emirates, Google, HSBC, EE, Wix, Tomy, Mattel, Bosch, GSK, and Unilever. I’m known among my clients as having the very essence of Britishness, which as we all know, provides the international appeal that has given me the privilege of being the public face to an audience across the globe. Beyond my extensive commercial and corporate work, I’ve also had the pleasure of voicing characters across gaming and animation. Some of my notable work includes an award-winning turn as Santa Claus and the 1950’s BBC/Pathe News vintage newsreader voice. Even sticking to the realm of a strictly British voiceover actor, I’ve still managed to portray characters that have ranged across the board from a werewolf to a cat commentator, and everything in between.
