You might have heard me around and about - I’ve appeared in a few Radio 4 plays and TV commercials, I’m a former BBC Radio Manchester newsreader, and as the winner of the Norman Beaton Fellowship, I spent five months performing as part of the BBC Radio Drama Company.

As well as bopping around in front of the mic, I can often be found working in production for award winning audio companies including Naked Productions, Sparklab and Afonica.

And as if that all wasn’t enough, I also spent seven years making the British Podcast Award nominated “The Voiceover Social” podcast, and am currently developing a radio drama about homelessness, addiction and Lancashire dialect poetry.

Fancy using my award nominated voice (warm, deep RP with optional native Manchester) for your project? Marvellous. Do have a listen to some of the bits and bobs below, and get in touch for a chat!

PS: Need a child voiceover? I’ve got one of those! He’s a cracking little actor, and you can listen to him below.

Actor

“Creative, intuitive, and an energy level which makes her a delight to work with.”
— Eloise Whitmore - Naked Productions

I’ve worked on a number of Radio 3 and 4 productions, including a few from my stint on the BBC Radio Drama Company. I’ve popped some clips below, and there are even more available on my Spotlight page if you fancy it (click the dodgy looking link below). I’m also currently in rehearsals, multi-rolling in a revival of a 1980s lesbian farce called “The Rug of Identity” at the Kings Arms in Manchester in April.

Studio Information

My fully acoustically treated and sound proofed Studiobricks booth features a Neumann TLM193 microphone or Rode NT1A, Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and facilities for remote direction using Zoom, Cleanfeed, Source Connect or Skype. I can provide finished, edited or unedited WAV or MP3 files via Dropbox, Wetransfer or any other large file sharing method with a very quick turnaround.

I also work closely with professional studios in Manchester and London if you’d prefer to direct in person.

You can use the form below to reach me and my 8 year old sidekick directly, or contact me through my agents, Excellent Talent (for VO) and Circuit Personal Management (for acting). Either way, it’ll be great to hear from you!
