"You're a witch!" "Well that's not very kind", I thought as I pondered why the director would say such a thing, then I realized he was giving me my first voice over job! He was actually asking me to play Hecate in Macbeth for the BBC and that was how it all began... Since then I have learnt how to make the microphone my friend, my translator and my play thing. Commercials,infomercials, narrations, radio drama, continuity and er, the Quiz Mistress' of ITV1's daytime show Divided (not sure what label that has!)have all come onto my radar since 1999 and I relish every opportunity to get behind the mic. "But come on Rachel, tell us who for because are all brand driven and want to hear names, have you worked for the big boys?" Ok then here we go, deep breath...(I'll go with bullet points to allow you to scan) •Continuity for ITV2 and the Biography Channel for two years each. •Corporate work for Audi, RBS, Prudential, Cosmopolitan Magazine and Argos to name a few •Radio Drama for the BBC •Commercial work for (oh listen to the showreel too many to mention!”) •Narration for Nespresso and the NHS •Promos for Thomas Cook TV for 7 years, Argos TV for 2 years •Telephone exchange work for Thomas Cook TV and Imagine Cruising •Quiz Mistress for ITV daytime show produced by Endemol •Infomercials for Tampap and Geniebra Theres loads more but too much to mention. Give me a buzz, just don't call me a witch, unless you want me to play one!? Wakefield College: Performing Arts Diploma Bristol Old Vic Theatre School: 2 year Acting Diploma I also ran my own course for two years under the company Live in Five Productions offering presentation and voice over tutorials. I'm not an engineer I'm a VO Artist! At home I have a really good mic, sound amplifier and a MAC, plus a great sound booth. If you want the full package I work with a sound engineer in his booth about 10 doors away (handy!)This is where we can create the full package for you. I can write, improvise, think on my feet and advise you with your script if you would like me to. This expertise comes from working with hundreds of clients over the years as a voice over artist and an in vision presenter.
