BIOGRAPHY
Having studied acting from childhood, trained at Tring Park School for the Performing Arts and subsequently qualified as a LAMDA Speech and Drama teacher, I have been performing my entire life. Meanwhile I have been stepmother to nine children and had complementary careers as a painter and writer as well as a Voiceover artist. I am based in Devon where I have a professionally equipped home studio but I love an excuse to travel!

SKILLS
| Performance | As a formally trained actress and a qualified speech and drama teacher my performance experience and teaching skills have both stood me in good stead for my voice over work - particularly in terms of versatility, vocal technique and stamina. I take direction well but am also able to work on my own initiative, within a team or alone. I am flexible, enthusiastic, easy to work with and totally professional. |
