BIOGRAPHY
I have been a professional actress for over forty years. I am known to be an expert sight-reader. I regularly performance-read short stories for Arachne Press and Liars' League. I am experienced at adr. My voice as Beryl, was heard at the Edinburgh Festival in Max Dickins’ “The Trunk” last year and I recently played Mary in Rusty Quill’s Magnus podcast. Having recently worked on some splendid stage and film projects I am keen to do more work in audio drama. Video showreel and more voice clips at www.carriecohen.co.uk
