Voice description

Caren is a popular voiceover in the UK and USA working from her home studio every day, Monday - Friday, 9am-6pm, supplying audio by ISDN and self recorded audio files Wav or MP3, also working out of London production houses for tv ads and narration projects. With 17 years experience as a presenter and voiceover artist she is easy to work with and produce. She can cover many styles from youthfull and clubby for music ads to thoughtfull and mature for narration projects like her UK NHS website audio, fun silly styles for games and childrens commercials for example her Funky Furby ads for Hasbro. Caren voices the British football site on ESPN's Soccerenetstore.com and is regularly used in the UK and USA for phone messaging due to her clear delivery. Originally being from the North East of England she is now in demand for her "geordie" accent either parody (mock X factor ads) or natural northern ( the Hilton Newcastle's phone system).

Training

Trained as an actress Caren spent 11 years on radio starting as a Newsreader and finishing as a Chart Show host, having presented all formats from Magazine/News programming to Breakfast zoo format shows, this versatility gave her the ability to cover all style and not be afraid to attempt any style she is asked to do. Having voiced ads occasionally during her presenting years she became a full time Voice artist 6 years ago.
