Accents, Impersonations, Characters and Dialects

A hint of North East England intonation and northern vowels, but effectively neutral.

I love giving the characters voices when I read my children stories!

My Voice Experience

I have voiced TV commercials, corporate videos, retail promos,e-learning projects,animations, telephone messages and radio commercials, ranging from a national brand nappy rash cream, to gorgeous lingerie, washing machines,high-end luxury yachts and simple "out of office" messages. I love the variety!

Having worked as a lawyer for 16 years, I bring a wealth of experience in presenting( both in one on one and to groups) in a corporate environment, training etc.I am comfortable handling jargon, talking in clear, plain English, in a pleasant manner and I can give a great "first read"!

Also, as a mother,I can deliver the softer, more maternal voice for projects(or an experienced, frustated, tired one if preferred!!)

My Training

Gary Terzza's "Voiceover Masterclass"

Guildhall School of Music and Drama Grade 8 Acting

My Studio Equipment

Alesis USB microphone at home with Audacity software for "dry" records.

I have access to local recording studios and production teams(one of whom just happens to be a film score composer too if you need some original music!)if you prefer,which would enable me to offer post-production services to meet your requirements.I am happy to discuss this on a project by project basis.

Additional Skills

From my experience in the business world, I fully understand the need to be organised, efficient, dependable and professional.I am also used to deadlines and appreciate the need to be adaptable and flexible.

As a mother of 2, I have 9 years' intensive practice in reading to children, enjoying making the stories come alive, and using baby products/services!

During holidays while at University, I worked as a Tour Guide at Durham Castle for 3 years, giving 5 tours/day to visitors from all over the world, young and old, requiring clarity, enthusiasm in delivery and bags of energy and patience!
