I am an actress with a playing age of mid to late 20's and have a range of theatrical experience. I have recently been employed using my voice for DJ jingles on the radio, and voice overs on promotional adverts for events and games on the internet. These have mostly been Low budget jobs that have required me to record my voice (using the Logic software) at home and edit the file and send via email. I have also done a couple of jobs, recording my voice at a studio.

I have had basic sound training with regards to technical requirements for stage productions. I am currently taking regular acting classes at the Actors Centre and regular dance lessons to keep my skills fresh. I have been cast as a dancer in a film called Believe, and have appeared as a couple of roles in Holby City and have filmed a role in a training video for the BBC. I have performed and run workshops for children. And I have also played numerous roles in Pantomime, mainly witches and evil characters but this year (2011) I will be playing the fairy God-Mother in Cinderella!
