Deborah Balm

Inviting, Intriguing, Informative...
A relatable, contemporary native British female voice artist with a smidge of sass. Born in Yorkshire, she now lives in Cambridge after her career in software engineering took her from Leicester, to Basel, and on to Amsterdam. This previously Nomadic lifestyle brings experience and depth to her characters.
In fiction Deborah excels in performing character voices and bringing a story off the page and into the listeners ears. She performs in multiple genres, but is best known for her Historical Romances and Thrillers and Murder Mysteries.
In Non Fiction she sounds utterly professional, effortlessly voicing technological and medical terms like she says them every day.

 Specjalności

I love singing, though not in audiobooks. I can edit and master, although these days I tend to employ an engineer for these tasks so that I can record more audiobooks.
