Having done voiceover work in my previous job as Director of e-learning for a pharmaceutical company, I have recently begun to branch out into e-learning on a freelance basis. My original intention was to produce e-learning modules using on-line tools, such as Adobe Captivate, Flash and Articulate. However, I have found that the clients really like my voice! I have been asked to perform voiceovers for Novartis, Glaxo-Smith-Kline, and Eisai. Moreover, I have found that I really enjoy this kind of work. I have also found that my experience as an actress in Greece, Japan and here in the States, has stood me in good stead for this kind of work.
