My Voice Experience

I trained at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in the UK with Hamish Wilson. I like ongoing training, and feel that lot of my chops come from constant practice on the job. I am a full time VO artist.

Recent VO work includes national commercials for bank of America, EHARMONY for Donut Wald/ Kalmensons, and series voice for the BAFTA winning BBC documentary series 'My Childhood'. Commercials include Arnold Clarke, Crown home improvements, Thompson holidays, Esure, and various other British products.

Documentaries include 'Murder in Paradise', 'Milosevic', 'Back to Sheffield'. Animations include Brightcandle, Techcrunch, the ridiculous 'redub of Alien 3' and baby learning dvds for Stringbean TV, and audiobooks are numerous.

My Training

I love both the large and the small scale voice gigs and I am fully committed to work on voice on many levels.
I work with voicestudiointernational website as an associate throughout the year, as it is such a central part of what makes a free, creative and inspired human being, never mind what it does for me as an actor. I also am working on a research paper with the Centre for Voice in Performance, for the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in the UK.
I host the Mary Wells show for KCLA here in LA on a bi-monthly basis, a mixture of talk and irreverant feature.

My Studio Equipment

I have my own studio at home, access to ISDN and phone patch and I am part of the Tori Hartman's Voice marketing team, so I can refer on to other female and male VO artists if you are looking for more voices.

Additional Skills

I am a fully qualified, certified and licensed massage therapist and bodyworker. I like outdoor sports such as skiiing, horse riding and waterskiing, and I am passionate about good food and good living. I am writing a pilot about pyschic medium Erika Schwenk.
