      Drama Studio London voice coaches highlighted Edmunds' vocal physiology, describing it as “very unusual - a deep resonant chest-voice combined with a light resonant head-voice" - giving him a unique sound. Upon graduating he began working as a voice actor and voiceover artist alongside his acting career.
