An accomplished British audiobook narrator working from my professionally equipped studio in the UK, I’ve narrated more than 30 mainly fiction titles. I’m a trained actor and work in theatre, radio drama and sketch comedy. I also provide voiceover services for corporate and commercial projects.
I work regularly for various audiobook publishers in the UK and internationally including Harper Audio and WF Howes as well as directly with authors and independent publishers narrating contemporary thrillers, romance, historical fiction and non-fiction, notably ‘The Passion of The Ripper’ by Nicholas Nicastro, “Blood Red City” by Rod Reynolds and “Silent Sisters” by Joanne Lee.
A recent narration received this reaction from the book’s author:
‘I wanted to email you direct, essentially to say, in capital letters to stress my gratitude, THANK YOU. I think you have done an amazing job, with such subtlety and sensitivity – and such compellingly accurate accents, too. I’m absolutely thrilled with it – so I wanted to convey, here, both my admiration and appreciation.’
Nick Duerden, author of ‘Dishing The Dirt’ one of The Guardian’s ‘Books of the Autumn 2020’.
My natural voice is assured, no-nonsense, trustworthy, mature, believable, sincere and gentle. I have an engaging ‘storyteller’ style of narration and am a highly versatile character actor, able to deliver intensely dramatic readings. I also have excellent comic timing!
I narrate usually in a neutral British English accent or lightly northern English accent as well as a variety of other British accents. I can provide a wide-range of international accents from Eastern European to South African to US accents. Her voice ranges from late 20’s into 50’s and she can provide character voices across all ages.
