Nerys-May Hughes

Working as an actress/singer from childhood has afforded me the opportunity to create a varied and interesting catalogue of vocal characters whilst developing the skills of timing, tone and projection, in both comical and serious productions. The versatility of characters would be great for cartoons and animated work. I have also used my vocal skills to produce books for those who are unable to read, my use of accents and inclination creates an engaging narrative. I have worked for a variety of tele-communication company’s recording messages using my good pronunciation and strong command of the English language. My most recent employment has been working with musical producers, who have used my voice on a variety of tracks some using my ‘child’ voice for haunting or funny tunes. Whilst also using my voice on other tracks to create ‘sexy style’ spoken vocals; including a very fun one were I am playing a phone sex girl!!! I am retained by the producers I work with, for my accuracy, my ability to create new and interesting sounds, voices and vocals, my fun imaginative nature is often cited as a reason for my retention of contracts. We all know how tedious studio work can be with the wrong team! I have also been afforded the opportunity to take part in the creative aspects of producing music form conception to production, righting lyrics and using my creativity to enhance projects. The versatility of my voice, my commitment to the job and my ability to respond and adapt quickly make me a suitable candidate for a variety of bookings, I look forward to taking on new challenges and developing my portfolio. I attended a variety of performing arts schools throughout childhood, taking part in professional production utilizing my skill in dance, drama and song gaining full grades at Guildhall School of Arts, in Drama and Movement. My career progressed to use of Drama and Song as Therapeutic Media and the Promotion of Arts in the Community and Education System my work was substantiated by obtaining foundation qualifications at ‘Greenwich Young Persons Theater Company’. (Famed for producing Kathy Burk and Gary Oldman.) As well as being in the final year of a Bachelor Of Science Degree in Occupational Therapy using the media of Drama as a tool for Therapeutic Intervention. As I have matured I have increasingly enjoyed voice work as it offers the opportunity to utilize the core skills of acting, whilst affording the anonymity that benefits voice work. As well as being able to eat cake without the condemn!!!! I am a very energetic person! Truly that is reflected in my Full CV often I am working on several projects at once. As well as singing, modeling and dancing professionally I have always used my talents in areas of social concern working at voluntary and professional level in Health and Social Care settings. This afforded me the opportunity to develop a patient nature and a true understanding of hard work and commitment. I have written, produced and performed in, stage production and stand up comedy, which never really seems like work! I have a very blessed life as I have been able to try my hand at so many things; this has given me a jovial personality that makes me fun to work with and has allowed me to make many friends, whilst enabling a stable workload form childhood through to present day.
