I started my career as an actress and singer 24 years ago. Voice over followed naturally, and I could not imagine a better job. I love the theatre of the mind which is voice work. It has to be completely accurate, can never be faked. I love the truth of voice work. I have done work ranging from soft sell (American Swiss, Johnson & Johnson, etc) to hard sell (Fruit and Veg City, N1 City Mall) announcers, conversational, characters...over 14 years of experience! (Honda, Woolworths, Ackermans, Santam, Old Mutual, PEP, etc) I have probably experienced every kind of life experience in the studio - in some studios here in Cape Town, I have zero dignity left! Bottom line...I am passionate about voice work! Still do a few stage productions and features, but I am most at home in the studio. I'm sort of a pavement special! I started work in musical theatre at the age of 16, and never really looked back! I have performed in many musical productions, tv, features, cabaret and commercials. I think an acting background really helps in the voice industry. Neumann mic Mac Pro Pro Tools
