Annick Clarisse-Willequet

Being born in Mauritius, I am naturally bilingual, where English and French are official languages. Whilst touring as a backing vocalist in english speaking countries (United Kingdom, U.S.A etc) and around the world, I had the opportunity of improving my communication skills. I was a resident in London (U.K) between 1992 and 1996 and in Johannesburg (South Africa) for two years from 1997 to 1999, thus becoming equally at ease with English as with my mother tongue (French). I married a Frenchman in 1999 which makes French my daily spoken language. With thirty years singing, ten years advertising and five years dubbing experience, I have crafted the art of adapting my voice to each professional context. My voice is delightful, convincing, professional and classy. I have worked for many advertising companies and dubbing studios in my country for the past ten years, e.g. Orange Grey, Redhouse McCann, Island Dubbing Ltd, Eruption Studios, Digital Productions, SG Productions, Bwatcom etc. I began with radio and TV commercials, PABX and voicemail services for brands such as Bridgestone, Orange, Canal +, Apollo Bramwell Hospital and the Mauritius Tourism Promotion Authority amongst many others. At the same time, I work as a voice-artist (main characters and supporting acts) which are dubbed from English into French.
