I can also speak with a soft french accent, but in English language. I can speak with a child's voice, suitable for a cartoon and audiobooks, I can speak like Mickey Mouse, talk like Frank spencer, ''Mother's do ave em''', I am likened to a Marry poppins character (Julie Andrews).

I am at beginner level for this voice over work, however,I have had extensive experience in using my voice during my job in teaching, reading books and various material to early year children (ages 3-8). I have also gained a 2:1 in English with Education, I have done many presentations for my fellow students, projecting my voice so it reaches the back of the classroom. I have entered Midsommerset festivals, ''Reading aloud' in which I have certificates for competing in this event. This involved reading the extract of a recommended book to an audience. I have also read bibical scriptures from the pulpit at church that I attend and other churches in the past. I have acted in school pantomines where I used my singing voice to act out solo performances. I have attended speech and drama workshops related to voice. I have had breath tecnique workshops for both my speaking and singing voice, in my local theatre. My job roles have involved communications- I have had experience with talking over the telephone, in sales and customer related roles. I have also been filmed on the ITV news for tutoring an autistic child and this involved a form of media production.
