You might have heard me around and about - I’ve appeared in a long list of Radio 4 dramas, as well as The Archers and a bunch of TV commercials, plus I’m a former BBC radio newsreader, and as the winner of the Norman Beaton Fellowship I also worked as an actor on the BBC Radio Drama Company.

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

A Channel 4 documentary that I narrated was broadcast this month; “The Alpine Hotel At Christmas”. I recorded a new series for Radio 4 in the summer called Almonds and Raisins, and have worked on lots of brilliant Radio 3 and 4 productions over the years (see clips below).

I also performed in two shows as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival 2024 - one was a hilarious parody of a ghost hunting TV Show (Almost Haunted), and the other one was “The Lie” by Helen Connolly, in which I played the lead, and this month I am multi-roling every single one of the ghosts in a new adaptation of A Christmas Carol at Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester!

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.
