Julie-Ann Dean

With 26+ years experience I am confident and creative behind the mic. My voice is naturally quite young, and I love getting the opportunity to inject a little humour into a read. With corporate and educational scripts, my reads tend to be natural, genuine and friendly. With 35 childrens' series under my belt, I'm used to bridging the generation gap from toddler to sixty-something, as well as dipping into my many goofy/zany/ditzy/children/animal/gremlin etc voices. For gaming voiceovers, I really enjoy being able to use my acting experience to keep the characters real. I now work for clients all over the world from various recording studios, including my own. I have attended multiple acting workshops and spent some time working as a professional actress. My training in voiceovers includes acting for gaming workshops with Andreas Toyais, Tom Keegan, Hugh Edwards and Mark Estdale. Plus numerous courses with the Actors Centre in London. My degree was in film making where I mastered a great deal of technical expertise, especially editing.
