My Studio Equipment

I have a home studio and use Cubase to edit my work (including adding sfx/background music). I also have Broadband internet access and use Switch to convert files into whichever format the client prefers. Recordings can then be delivered electronically or by post as required.

In addition I have access to local studios and colleagues who are accomplished sound engineers.

Additional Skills

I have been working professionally as an actress, musician & singer for many years, and as a Voiceover artist for 7 years. I regularly play characters with a wide age range, and can voice female & young male roles.

I am a native Scot with family in various parts of the world (inc. England, New York, Poland & Russia) so my range of accents is wide and accurate.

Professional experience includes: Cabaret, Comedy, Corporate Work, Film, Musicals, Open Air Theatre, Pantomime, Radio, Session Cellist, Shakespeare, Singing, Theatre, Touring Theatre & Voiceovers.

I am hard working, dedicated, take direction well, and will provide a high quality product in a short time.
