A little bit about my journey into voice acting…

From my early days performing in school productions, creating characters of my own and impersonating teachers (at my own peril!), and onto studying languages at university and entering the story-telling world of international advertising, I’ve always let my passion for voice and communication guide me. The desire to work in voiceover was always at the heart of this though, and from a young age and I can vividly remember deciding at eight years old that this was what I wanted to be when I grew up. And so after a circuitous route, my professional journey into the wonderful world of VO finally began in earnest during my maternity leave and I haven’t looked back since!

Take a listen to a sample of my home studio!

From sold-out Sydney Fringe shows with my French-speaking improv troupe (Les Blaguettes) and with Improv Theatre Sydney, to performing in political satire radio dramas, and writing and performing sketch comedy, my passion for acting is multi-faceted!

If you’ve got a particular project in mind but don’t quite know what you’re after in terms of a voice or copy, I’d love to help. There’s nothing I love more than improvising characters and dialogue and offering variations on reads to help achieve the tone and style you’re looking for.
