“The freedom to create and
build on opportunities I’ve
personally developed.
I’m a voice-over artist and am registered as a
sole trader. My voice has been used for
audiobooks, adverts, corporate videos,
animation films and much more! Clients have
included HSBC, Nivea, Royal Mail and many
different authors. I have a home recording
studio, which allows me to create the final,
polished audio tracks.
After a serious accident in 2009, I plucked up the courage
to return to university to re-train in a career that I was
really passionate about.
During my first year, the voice-over world exploded and
with new technology emerging it became possible for me to
utilise my previous acting skills from home.
The Senior Experimental Officer for the Speech and
Hearing Department at QMU was a fountain of knowledge
in getting my home recording studio up and running. My
Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) training helped me to
safely develop character voices and accents.
Due to university contacts, I’m now in the amazing position
to also be part of Fitvoice, a community interest company,
which allows me to combine my skills as an actress and SLT.
I love the diverse nature of
being a voice-over artist, as
I can find myself voicing
a ‘talking t-shirt’ for an
advert one minute and
creating over 100 voices for
an audiobook the next!”
