In his words:
“The way I got into being a voice artist was kind of strange. I used to drive trains on the London Underground.”
Redd continued:
“One morning I was making my announcements, [and] a television executive was a passenger on my train. He got off at the next stop, ran up to my cab, we exchanged details, and the rest is history.”
His first movie trailer was for 1996’s Space Jam, an American live-action/animated family sports comedy film that was a box office success, opening at No. 1 at the North American box office. Also, the movie grossed more than $230 million worldwide.

Pepper came to prominence following his voice-over work for Independence Day and Armageddon.

In 2018, he insured his vocal cords for the astonishing sum of £10 million. The money will protect his vocal cords in the event of accidental damage.
During an interview, he said:
’’My voice is my career, I wouldn’t know what to do if I wasn’t able to do voice-overs.’’
Pepper went on to say:
”It means I am covered if I am involved in an accident or if I am for any reason unable to use my vocal cords.”
