Harrison RB is an English voiceover artist, radio programmer, presenter, producer and event host based in Hampshire, UK.
Harrison’s voice was first used on a podcast for Marwell Zoo near Winchester when he was just four years old and, since then, Harrison has been heard on various BBC and commercial radio stations.
In addition to his voiceover work, Harrison has been Content Manager at Portsmouth’s Express FM since July 2023 where he oversees brand strategy, programming, music policy and talent development as well as managing the station’s RCS scheduling and playout systems.
Harrison helped launch the multi-award-winning Petersfield’s Shine Radio in 2020 where he supported the volunteer team with presentation and technical training and managed the StationPlaylist playout system, including building music rotations and clocks, on a daily basis until June 2023. Harrison continues to schedule Shine Radio’s logs and update the station’s new music playlist each week.
Harrison was diagnosed as autistic in childhood after regularly experiencing sensory overload at pre-school.
Despite being fortunate enough to know why he is different, Harrison spent many years masking which most autistic people do in an attempt to conform with social norms. Since 2019, Harrison has been more open about the challenges he faces including his mental health struggles and OCD diagnosis.
After being interviewed about autism by Darryl Morris on talkRADIO in 2021, Harrison was contacted by a producer working on Inside Our Autistic Minds, a two-part BBC Studios documentary shedding light on the different experiences of autistic people. Murray Bruce, a non-verbal contributor to the programme, was looking for a voiceover artist to narrate a short film that would share his powerful message with the world.
As shown in Episode 1 of Inside Our Autistic Minds (first broadcast on BBC Two on 14 February 2023), Murray chose Harrison’s voice for the film which Harrison describes as “the greatest honour of (his) life”.
