I’m an English-speaking voice actor, with a whole range of clients across the world. As well as my native UK, I work in a number of international accents including Irish, French, Australian and South African.
The tagline on my website reads: A WORLD OF POSSIBILITIES.
What do I mean by that? It encapsulates so much, both about my work as a voiceover artist, and who I am as a person.
ANCESTRY – my family is a total mix of nationalities. I’m part English, French, Irish, Danish, Scottish and Russian. At school, learning languages came easily to me. I studied French, and German, plus Latin and even ancient Greek. I learnt the basics of Arabic, briefly studied Chinese at Oxford University (that’s another story) and have also taken extra classes in Spanish. I have a great ear, which helps me not only understand languages, but to hear different accents – and replicate them myself.
VERSATILITY – I take great pride in being able to work across a number of voiceover disciplines. They include: Commercial, Corporate narration, E-Learning, Audiobooks, Gaming , Animation and IVR.
