For 13 years, I was a lawyer specialized in criminal and property law. 5 years ago, a friend of mine, who's a famous voice over talent since 22 years in France, advised me to try to launch myself in this business, as he detected good abilities for it, he thought. And he was right. It appeared to me that I really enjoyed it and I gave early good performances ... and here I am !! Now, I have my own home studio, with my husband who's also a voice over talent and an actor, for corporate, elearnings, website, voice mails, but also do recordings in studios for commercials, radios, trailers, and so on. My purpose, here, is not to make an exhaustive list of my former jobs, as many of my jobs and demos are available on my website.
This won't give you many infos, as I made my training and education in France and England, but in law fields !! Nevertheless, I followed a one-year formation at the first french school for voice over talent, founded by the friend who launched me, and also took a individual coach to improve my performances and interpretation skills, for an other year. Now, I am a coach myself, as I participate in the writing of voice over talents trainings, and in special sessions dedicated to businessmen who want to improve their speaking in public.

On top of having been a lawyer, and beeing a voice over talent now, I also write scenarios for short films, local commercials, marketing issues. I'm finishing a play that should be staged in a year or so ... and a thriller book !!
As you might have guessed, I am a cheerful and curious person who always feel enthusiastic with any project or challenge !
To sum up, I would say that my former legal career gave me the abilities to convince any audience, to answer quickly any demand, to adapt to my clients'requirements, and to behave very professionally.
My writing business, on the other hand, provides me with a fast comprehension of the texts, targets and different needs of my clients, and of the products they sell or promote.
