I’m supposed to blog more often … I know!
Explaining why ‘usage’ is a thing!
I don't know if you've noticed but when it comes to quoting for voiceover work, I don't post my rates here, but ask you to get in touch with me to discuss. Why? Well, because a voiceover is made up of the voice and the production work to get it to sound right … but if...
Back on the radio!
Quick update! Well, it looks like I'm going back on the radio. A brand new radio station called Vita Radio! It's about 13 years since my last radio show. Despite that, I'm really looking forward to getting behind the mic in a different context! Expect regular...
Thanks to Living …
Living Magazine (a North East luxe magazine brand) caught up with my recently to take stock of my North East … the answers to which were a little bit of a collaboration with my husband, especially where eating out and landmarks are concerned! I'm not sure when the mag...
This week – #thrilled
'Thrilled' ... that's me this week. Various reasons, but at the top I'm as happy as happy can be to join the roster at Shining Management, a wonderful London-based voiceover agency. Yee ha! What else? Well, my new demo, produced with Nancy Wolfson of Braintracks...

Summer in the country …
Summer's coming to an end, if it ever really started in our part of the world, and I can't work out if I'm gutted I didn't get a tan (again) or looking forward to the fires being lit in the evenings and a cosy retreat as the temperatures drop. Last year I ended up...
Warming up …
Motherhood kind of put paid to much of my evening activity a few years back. Like so many others, I'm good at ferrying now. But at the beginning of 2017 a new community choir started up locally, and I decided that instead of me waiting while the 8 year old does his...
My son’s help!
I had an interesting request recently ... a voiceover to run over a track at 103 beats per minute. I had this information before I had the script, so was expecting it to read like a poem or song. It didn't. It was a regular script, to run over a 103 bpm track. Two...
