I've spent most of my working life behind the scenes – quite literally.
As a professional photographer and videographer, I've spent years behind the camera. As a communications professional, I've spent just as long helping other people find their voice, tell their stories and feel comfortable in front of an audience.
Somewhere along the way, I realised I had a rather useful voice of my own.
I've always been told I have an interesting voice – distinctive, versatile and, according to some, a little quirky. It's naturally British, clear and conversational, with plenty of character, and I can move comfortably between warm and reassuring, confident and authoritative, lively and playful, or polished and professional.
And then there's my other voice.
Despite not growing up remotely within the world of boarding schools and country estates, over the years I've somehow acquired a remarkably convincing posh British voice. Think polished vowels, impeccable manners and the vague impression that someone, somewhere, owns a Labrador called Monty.
That versatility means I'm comfortable working across a wide range of projects, from commercials, corporate films and documentaries to e-learning, explainers, audiobooks and character work. My background in communications also means I understand the other side of the microphone: who you're trying to reach, what you want them to feel and why the way something is said can matter just as much as the words themselves.
After a career spent helping other people communicate, I'm enjoying putting my own voice to work.
If you're looking for a British female voice that's natural, intelligent, adaptable and perhaps just a little bit different, I'd love to hear about your project.
