I am very new to this area and performed in my very first film in February this year. I played the wife of an alzheimer sufferer in the last stages of the disease. It was challenging and rewarding and I learned a lot. The film 'Remembering Yesterday', will soon be available to see in my profile on Starnow.co.uk Apart from my demos I have no experience in the voiceover market as such. However I have spent most of my working life as a music teacher in a secondary school, where I ran musical shows, choirs, an orchestra and taught music for the Junior and Leaving cert. I used my singing voice (which is classically trained) and speaking voice a great deal as part of this work, and this experience has given me the ability to project and express myself through my voice. I have enjoyed making my demos and hope that my voice can be of service. My main training is in music education and performance. I have a primary degree in music education and a diploma in singing teaching. In 1976 I won the Mezzo Soprano gold medal in the Dublin Feis Ceoil As a teenager I studied drama at the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin. I successfully did drama exams and competitions at that time. Since I retired from my Secondary teaching job in 2012, I have decided to explore new experiences in drama and voiceover work. My demos were made using an Olympus Linear PCM recorder LS-11 at home. I downloaded the files to my computer and used NCH Wavepad Sound Editor to convert them to MP3 and tidy them up. Solo and choral singing. Choral direction. Musical direction of music dramas. Music education.
