TRAINING

I began training as an actor with The National Youth Theatre, before completing a three year course in professional acting at The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London.

I continue to develop my performance and recording skills:

I have continued to take voice classes since leaving drama school, in the UK with vocal coaches Yvonne Morley, Nic Redman and Anita Gilbert.

I attend online webinars with Gravy For The Brain on the technical side of voice recording, and one to one with engineer Rob Bee

I am currently attending the 2020 Advanced Audiobook Narrators Course with vocal coach Anita Gilbert, and award-winning audiobook narrator, Helen Lloyd.
