I’ve been avidly telling stories since I was a little girl – first through acting, completing various grades with Guildhall School of Speech and Drama, then through dance, choreography and dance teaching, later via marketing and copywriting, and over the last ten years through voiceovers and narration.
I first stumbled into the world of voiceovers at the age of 13 – back when everything we listened to was either via the radio or on cassettes. I had the privilege of working with Red Dwarf actor Robert Llewellyn aka Kryten on creating content for GCSE science study recordings. It was an incredible experience and so much fun! We were regularly kicked out of the studio due to the perpetual giggling (imagine Kryten trying to pronounce “feces” and then imagine a teenager listening to the word “feces” mis-pronounced…I think you’ll get the picture).
Some 17 years later, I had an opportunity to return to the world of voiceovers through a Production Assistant position with Videojug where I recorded a huge volume of voiceovers for their “how-to” video collection.
It was in 2015, and facing an imminent redundancy from the marketing role I’d held in an investment company, that I began to launch my voiceover business. And I’ve not looked back since then.
