Toby Ricketts lives in a house bus in Mangōnui - but his voice is heard around the world.
Well, different versions of it.
He can sound British, American, Kiwi, or Australian - and it's all part of his job.
Ricketts is a voice artist who records commercials and other content from his small self-built studio in rural Northland for hundreds of clients around the world including Netflix, BMW, Microsoft and even the Australian Government.
"I have to pinch myself, really, because it's exceeded my wildest expectation in terms of this career I really wanted to have," he said.
Ricketts, who was born in Brighton, won four awards, including Male Voiceover of the Year, at the Inaugural One Voice Awards - the UK's biggest voice awards held last Saturday in London.
Where else can you be working with ad executives in New York and London, but still show up for work in your dressing gown, at home?
He got into the radio industry fairly early.
"When I was 8 years old me and my friends found an old tape recorder and like many kids do, we made radio shows. We'd go to the local train station and run around and pretend thousands of people were listening," he said.
By the time he was 10 he had a pirate radio station - broadcasting without a licence - and would record from a studio in his UK home.
His radio work continued when he moved to New Zealand and at 14 he had a show on a community radio station in Christchurch. In 2001 he attended the New Zealand Broadcasting School, where he focused on behind-the-scenes work.
This continued into his 13-year career as studio operator for The Radio Network and MediaWorks, most of the time recording other people voicing advertisements.
But in 2003 he stepped behind the mic.
"One day we had a late deadline for an ad and no one was about so I decided to do it myself and decided I really liked it."
From there he started voicing the occasional ad for the stations he worked for, and six years ago he decided to earn extra money on the side doing voice work.
He found websites where companies advertised for voice artists and Ricketts auditioned by sending in samples of his voice, a personal description, and his charges.
When he moved to Northland about three-and-a-half years ago he gave himself six months to become a fulltime voice artist. When he realised he was earning more money than at his last radio job, he realised it was possible.
Ricketts also runs a voice academy, auditions for 12 jobs on average a day and records eight to 10 jobs a week.
Less than 5 per cent of his work is for New Zealand companies, about 70 per cent is American-produced, and 10-15 per cent is for UK companies. But 90 per cent of his work is done in a British accent.
"I'm a firm believer that being a voice artist is the best job in the world. Where else can you be working with ad executives in New York and London, but still show up for work in your dressing gown, at home?"
