My Voice Experience

I worked as a professional actress for 20 years during which time I toured extensively in theatre the length and breadth of the UK and likewise in Europe.
I have 'projected' in huge theatres, very tiny theatres, castles, stately homes and numerous outdoor venues, battling against inclement weather, seagulls and the chatter of champagne quaffing picnickers.

In later years I found myself drawn to the small silent studio! Here I have been a Small Child, 101 Year Old Women in Dr. Who, advertised cosmetics and vocalised the joys of mid-life incontinence, to mention a few.
