I fell in love with voice acting very young, listening to tapes of the Goon Show that my grandmother gave to me.  I was always a bit of a parrot, mimicking voices and accents I heard around me.  

​

A love of languages led me to pursue a degree in Japanese.  I spent my second year living in Japan, immersing myself in the language and culture.  I had to learn a new way of speaking, adapting to different grammar, emphasis and tone.  This continues to help me in my work today.

​

I worked as a massage therapist for years before I found my way into voice acting.  Creating a relaxing and safe space for my clients was crucial and the way I spoke to them was a key part of that.  

​

Before I moved to full time voice acting, I spent over a year doing intensive coaching with the team at RichCraft.​  Tanya Rich and her coaches taught me how to interpret scripts, how to be consistent, how to breathe and how to get the most out of my instrument.​​​​

​

I love voice acting, it's so much fun.  It feels like play, collaborating with creative people to tell stories of all kinds.  

 

I have run and played hundreds of hours of games like Dungeons and Dragons.  Role playing games gave me the opportunity to develop characters, practice voices and improvise.  ​
