Rill Askey

My 30 years of performance experience mean I can be dropped into virtually any medium and not create casualties. I have worked in all genres of voice work from audiobooks to AAA videogames, medical eLearning to children's animation. You name it - I've done it. Multiple times.

My classically-trained theatre background brings gravitas, strength, reliability and sophistication to corporate copy.

My tv and film experience enables me to break down copy quickly and deliver pitch-perfect performances in record time.

My 15 years of stand-up comedy and improv experience give me the flexibility and humour needed for commercial reads.

 Opleiding

I was classically trained (theatre including Shakespeare, movement and voice work) at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. It's what helps me do those barks and onos for videogames without ruining my voice.

Since then I've trained with commercial and animation casting directors Kim Hurdon, Zach Anderson and Dee Shipley, videogame directors Simon Peacock and Colin Graham and many more.

 Ervaring

I am a regular animated presenter in the Mojang YouTube series "The Secrets of Minecraft" where I play a fairly demented obsolete computer. It's what I show to kids so they think I'm cool.

I appear as many side-quest characters in "Watch Dogs: Legion" and "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla" for Ubisoft. This one makes me seem cool to adults.

I am the narrator for the award-winning audiobooks in the "Lane Winslow Detective Series" by Iona Whishaw for ECW and Touchwood productions.

I was the voice of Jaguar for radio commercials across Canada for two years. I am still the voice of the online Dentyne commercials in Canada. I have a Gold Crystal for the best radio commercial voice over in Canada for a bunch of "manscaping" spots for Philips Bodygroom.

 Specifieke vaardigheden

As the ex-wife of a New York Times bestselling author I'm used to being the first port of call for copy-editing and can make your scripts sound more natural, especially if English is not your first language.
