Alexia Hodgson

I am good at children's stories, with impersonations for animal characters, and at differentiating between adult and child characters within a story. However I also enjoy reading audiobooks for a wider market, particularly the classics. I can put emotion and expression into female characters for audiobooks. I speak Italian. I am fluent and have spoken it since childhood, however since I grew up in England I have a slight English accent. Equally I can do an Italian accent when speaking English.

I have done a range of voiceovers for Voice123 and other sites - corporate, e-learning, infomercials and audiobooks. I work from my home studio. I have read audiobooks (classics e.g. Jane Austen) for students of English as a foreign language, which needed to be very clear and easy to understand while retaining the character. I have also read a series of "How To" books which are available on Audible. (audible.co.uk and search for Alexia Hodgson) I have collaborated with an author and read a series of children's stories which are available as an audiobook. I have sung backing vocals and have worked with a singer/songwriter. Gary Terzza masterclass Diploma in Oral Skills (Drama) at Middlesex Poly Numerous acting classes and workshops. Singing classes and performing with a large choir. When I work from home I use a Rode microphone which I plug into a Mac via a Focusrite interface. I can produce MP3's to e-mail or send as FTP,or burn onto a CD. I can produce WAV files. I am willing to travel to London studios. I have many years experience working with children. I am currently employed in a primary school supporting children with special needs. Much of this work is based on verbal communication. I perform regularly with a large choir which I find builds confidence as well as keeping my voice in training.
