I'm a fully bilingual French Canadian VO artist with a native General American accent. And since I can easily switch back to Canadian, French Canadian, Parisian as well as RP, I’ve been able to work across different styles, languages and regions.
You might have heard my voice throughout the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and France, whether it be radio, TV commercials, audiobooks, ADR, guided meditations, TV promos, feature films, eLearning, corporate videos and some video games.
Having been classically trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, I can appreciate the importance of honouring a text and its subtleties, word choice, intonation and specific timing.

Experiencia
Some of my recent clients include Playstation, IKEA, IMAX, Google, BBC, Baileys, Pandora, UPS, Starbucks, Lycamobile, Cadbury and Unilever. I’ve voiced the seven-part Lora Weaver Mysteries audiobooks by Katy Leen, and I'm currently working on Christie and Agatha: Detective Agency, a children's mystery series by Pip Murphy.
