ONE VOICE AWARDS UK FINALIST
Having grown up bi-lingually, speaking immaculate UK English and German, I am the perfect match for any project that requires either or both languages.
Well-known companies such as the BBC, Opera North, Bosch and Philips rely on my ability to be creative in the moment, while trusting my high level of workmanship to prepare thoroughly. Both approaches enable me to be accurate, react quickly to direction and deliver unique, elegant and detailed performances every time.
My eclectic music and acting training and natural instinct give me an intimate understanding of complex Shakespearean and modern roles and make me an ideal collaborator for narration work that requires a trustworthy, clear delivery - in both immaculate UK English and German.
I own a fully equipped private recording studio for voice work, including a Sennheiser MK4, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and iMac and can offer various audio delivery methods. Being based in the middle of the UK, I can easily travel to London or to wherever in the world I’m needed.
