BIOGRAPHY
Hi! I'm a young London-based voiceover artist two years into the industry. I've narrated 40+ audiobooks for Random House, Bolinda and Audible, been mentioned in Audiophile magazine and even got a pat on the shoulder and "Good job!" from Dirk Maggs. I've performed for big corporates (American Express) and small startups, scrappy game developers and animators, and am also available for ELT, commercial VOs, promos, e-learning, IVR and more!

SKILLS

"I was an avid listener as a child and the format has been my gateway into working in the audio world. My audiobook experience has given me a solid base of vocal skills and stamina that I can take through into other realms of the industry, and I'm learning more every day." |
| Foreign Languages | German speaker to CEFR Level A2. Learnt Russian in school and can still read cyrillic with a good accent, as reported by native speakers. "In my audiobook work I've put my 'good ear' for languages to use, voicing convincing snippets of languages from Swedish to Eritrean!" Has unique experience in creating and voicing invented languages. |
