BIOGRAPHY
Trained at Drama Centre London and with 7 years of professional experience as an actor and voiceover actor, I bring a wealth of acting experience, versatility and ability to take direction to each project I voice to deliver impactful performances and 100% client satisfaction every time. With a degree in Chemistry & Management from Imperial College London and 10 years of experience working as a project manager at corporate companies, I am highly skilled at communicating corporate, scientific and medical copy clearly and confidently. Whether it’s informative professional or friendly conversational, I have the natural skill to bring a narration to life. With my professional voiceover studio in Toronto, I am able to provide finished audio files with a less than 24-hour turnaround time for most projects. I have a custom built, acoustically treated voice booth and record my sessions using a Rode NT1a mic, Scarlett 2i2 preamp and Adobe Audition. I am also able to provide translation and audio post production services for your project – get in touch to find out more!
