Hi there! I’m Kelly MacBride. An award-winning British millennial voice over working from my broadcast-quality home studio specialising in commercial, corporate, character and dramatic voice over.
Originally from Hertfordshire, England, I have a neutral British voice that has been described as dynamic, conversational and expressive with bright and warm youthful tones. With my American heritage and living in Australia, I also hit that sweet spot of having a uniquely global accent that will lend your project an international and ‘unplaceable’ sound. Thanks to my international background I also work seamlessly in Standard American and Mid-Atlantic accents! In terms of voice age range, I can deliver child, teen, 20s, and 30s.
So whether you’re looking for a genuine Brit, a quirky off-beat character, or an international voice that'll cross cultures and appeal to multiple markets, I’d love to show you the unique, story-telling style I can bring to your project!
Formazione
Whether it’s an online script read-through or workshop with Gravy for the Brain, a specialist course in voice, or coaching - the training is always ongoing! I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the best coaches in the biz!
