BIOGRAPHY
Years of live performance, rehearsal & writing have been a never-ending apprenticeship for developing real characters with depth and how to develop caricatures when appropriate. I’m so grateful to the coaches, artists, audiences & clients for the experiences & lessons I’ve learned, which have given me the skills to really get into clients’ scripts, be they character, narration, commercials, gaming or trailers, to bring characters to life and really lift the text off the page. A new service for 2023 is a Pre-Project Brainstorm, whereby I can visit you onsite or remotely to participate in activities such as: - trying out character voices, accents, dialects etc. - character definition - offering suggestions on scripting This is a cost-effective way of getting ahead with your Voice Artist requirement, before the stage of having to make a final choice of VO talent.
