My voice over experience began as soon as I can speak, if you include constantly mimicking characters on TV and making voices! After studying the voice throughout eductaion, my first job was for an in-store advertising campaign for 'Spa'. This involved being ticked away in a padded booth showing my exictement in as many ways as possible for the various new products they were selling. Later I moved on to recording voice clips to tag and link the scenes for a live comedy sketch show. These also had various effects added to them. Within this, I pre-recorded a song. I recorded a few tracks when I was younger so had a lot of experience in sound booths recording my vocals and adding effects in the studio. More recently I did ADR on a movie set. This was dubbing an actress whose scenes gad already been shot but the voice was not to the producers liking. It was recorded line by line, listening to the beeps, synching up to the actresses lips. I have studied acting throughout high school and college, and later when I did my degree in drama at The University of Wales in Aberystwyth. I moved onto drama school at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. Here we had classes in vocal training to perfect our general American accents. We also had training for singing. Since moving to Los Angeles I have trained at TVI Actors Studio, Ivanna Chubbuck and Tom Ardavany. These have all focused on the voice, and heightened the attention given to the delivery of each line and how much the voice can affect and change a character. I have a Apple Mac where I can record voice over and also the ability to record on my Blackberry if out and about. I am a singer. I am a working actress in film, television and theatre. I am passionate about animation. I am highly skilled at impersonation and creating characters.
