BIOGRAPHY
I'm a British VO Artist working remotely for clients around the world, from my home studio here in London. I am comfortable voicing a range of styles and as an actor and theatre-maker by training, I love to use my skill for creating well-defined characters, making bold choices and adding a playful and engaging edge to give life and conviction to your copy whether its an audiobook, a commercial or corporate or explainer video.

| 2019 | The News Dump Weekly Round Up | Narration | White Label Comedy | We hired Bethan to record the VO for the very first ‘This Week on The News Dump’ round-up show. She turned around a brilliant recording with just 24 hours notice - she captured our tone perfectly and managed to hit exactly the right rhythm and pace needed to make the jokes in the script land. Brilliant - will be working with her again very soon. |

SKILLS
| Acting | Alongside my voiceover career, I work as a freelance actor, puppeteer and theatre-maker. I run my own company Todos Teatro and we are currently touring our show for children Turtles Don't Like Plastic. Creating believable and well-defined characters is my favourite thing to do. I know how important it is that they are 3 dimensional, detailed and played with conviction and commitment. I am able to utilise these skills to lift a copy of the page and bring it alive whether the text calls for a character specifically or not. |
| Singing | Since my days at drama school, I have always loved singing and often incorporate it into my work as a theatre maker. I have a mezzo-soprano range and am comfortable as part of a group and solo. One of my first VO jobs was with Forum Teatro in Spain in which I recorded dialogue, narration and songs for educational teachers packs to accompany their theatre shows. I remember feeling immediately comfortable in front of the mic and had a blast creating lots of wildly different characters through song and voice. In 2017 I toured the UK in La Chanson du Retour, a musical in French in which I played the lead role Lea. It was an invaluable experience in learning to care for my voice and consistently bring my best even when performing 3 shows a show. |
| Improvisation | I have always loved improvisation and the simultaneous awareness you need to have to do it and at the same time not overthinking anything. I developed these skills while studying in Paris and I believe the sense of playfulness and adaptability has stood me in good stead for my voiceover career. I don't feel the need to be precious or stick with my first idea on how a script needs to sound, I've always got something else up my sleeve. |

TRAINING
| Rose Bruford College - European Theatre Arts | 2011-2014 I completed my BA (Hons) in European theatre practice, not only the role of the performer, but also the part played by the director, playwright and designer in a variety of historical and socio-cultural European contexts. It was a stimulating, challenging and varied program that allowed me to discover my own tastes and strengths as a performer as well the value of collaboration, adaptability and hard work. It was a perfect balance of conservatoire and academic training. |
| École Internationale de Théatre Jacques Lecoq | From 2016-2017 I trained at the Jacques Lecoq school in Paris on the professional acting course where I deepened my skills in physical performance including character creation, mime, mask, acrobatics and improvisation. Every week we had to create and perform a brand new short piece we had made to an audience of fellow students and teachers. |
| Voiceover training with Gravy for the Brain | After getting professional voiceover work since 2015 my passion and enjoyment of the art form grew and this year I decided to bolster my experience and learn from the best! |
| ESAD Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático de Murcia | Erasmus exchange programme Interpretación: Teatro de Creación (Acting: Creative Theatre) 2013 3 month period of study, all classes in Spanish. Included classes in movement, devised theatre, mask work, mime and pantomime, contemporary dance, singing, expressive voice, directing and scenography |
