In the 80's, Andrew began his career in the UK, where he initially worked in music theatre, was soloist in concert recital and oratorio while simultaneously pursuing his passion for narration work in Soho's sound studios.

His private recording studio allows him to deliver online broadcast-quality narrations worldwide, under Andrew Golder Narration.
