Claudia Apicella

English cockney, Italian Neapolitan, Can also speak and read fluently in Italian, french and Spanish even though it may not be 'native' speaking. Nursery rhymes with different voices for each character. Can sing-belong to a choir-am soprano so any singing commercial would be fun. I refer to my speaking voice now as 'transatlantic' as some americanism has crept into my british accent.

My first class was in 2002 after the 9/11 tragedy wiped out most of my previous jobs in tour escorting in several languages. But it was always something i desired to do. This was at the School of Film and TV. Thereafter to AAA Voice Productions where I took series of lessons from Jen Duckworth and still have an occasional class. My Commercial demo was made in 2010. A singing CD made in 2008.Uploaded/ I used to sing on my tours, and now it is basically in my Church Choir Concerts, etc. And also on Dance showcases.

Biggest success was the school in Rome where i ran the Christmas Concert single-handed for the whole school, using all children there. believe it or not got permission from the American embassy to use their Concert hall there.
