About 

Professional, polished, grounded female British voice over - with a twinkle of magic!

An award-winning British female voice over artist, you’ll hear me on everything from TV, radio & online commercials, to corporate presentations, explainers, museum & audio guides, e-learning, narration - including medical & technical, radio imaging, on-hold messages, IVR & more.

Working with clients around the world from my ISDN equipped studio, no script is too technical (or too daft!) to be crafted.

I’ve voiced for the BBC, Volvo, Danone, Samsung, GlaxoSmithKline, the NHS, Cisco, Deloitte, Governments & NGO’s, Mercedes, Mothercare, Bosch, Ocado, Citizen, Royal Museums Greenwich, Global Media Group & many, many more.

With over 25 years experience in the industry, you can rest assured; your brand is in safe hands.

I have a strong background in live broadcasting with the BBC, initially as a Studio Manager (sound Engineer), followed by many years as an Announcer / out of vision Newsreader & Senior Channel Director - across Radio & TV. Not only is sight reading second nature, I understand what ‘urgent’ really means! In fact, clients often tell me how much they appreciate my swift turnaround times, friendly, can-do attitude & professional approach.

A degree in Drama means I can add as little, or as much creativity to your project as you like! Naturally, I’m very responsive to direction - though equally happy to record without it. In fact, both my VOX Award for Best Female Voice Over & my One Voice Award for Overall Best E-Learning Voice Over Performance, were for self-directed recordings.

Of course, however we work together, it’s all about teamwork! If you need a female voice over, (or, to use the lingo, a female vo), please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

When I’m not in the voice over booth, you’ll find me trying to persuade the dog to go for a walk in the glorious countryside, swimming, pulling faces at Pilates, on another planet at a yoga class. Or possibly with my head in a book, having a good giggle with friends & family, making a mess with wool (saved only by a wonderful group of expert knitters), meditating, or cooking & dancing in the kitchen.... Occasionally, my husband joins in too!
