About
I started in the profession as an actor at the age of 30, and being a singer too, soon started working in musicals (Chess National Tour) or musical shows (Thursford Christmas Extravaganza) for over 19 seasons. It was at Thursford, having heard me deliver a narrative piece during the show I was asked to record all their front of house announcements. And so, my voice over career was launched, although in reality, it probably started much earlier in primary school where, as one of two children, was asked each year to do a reading at the school carol service. Over the last 3 years of so I’ve focussed solely on my voiceover career, working on radio commercials, narration, e-learning projects for example, live announcements/commentating. Work includes narrating 48 episodes of 'In the Night Garden' for WildBrain. More recently I've performed in some audio drama podcasts, in both the UK and US. I have been coached by Tanya Rich, Lizzie Jobling, Rachael Naylor, and Nick Clinch. I have my own studio at home and can connect remotely when required
