Happy Voiceover Birthday!
A very happy voiceover birthday to ME - fourteen years of being a professional Scottish voiceover artist.
So let’s condense fourteen years into six slides and discover how I became a full-time voice artist, with a broadcast quality studio.
Warning first - get ready for a LOT of photos of me (sorry!) 👇🏻
After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Acting from The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, I moved to London and started pursuing acting work. I created my first voiceover reel and booked my first national radio campaign 📻
I continued auditioning for acting roles, but voiceovers started to take off. I found I was auditioning less and recording more. I worked very hard to build my client list.
I started sharing a studio in Soho with some other voice artists and built a small studio at home. I was recording more and more. Commercial, corporate and IVR recordings started to become my daily bread-and-butter voiceover work.
While COVID was difficult for lots of reasons, it actually helped my career massively as a lot of clients started seeking voices with established home studios. I started working more and more in other genres - gaming, animation, audio description, you name it! I upgraded my studio to the one I have now - a fully insulated sound studio, with acoustic treatment.
It was time for a big change - I moved to beautiful Edinburgh, to be closer to my family. My business continued to grow.
Moving my giant vocal booth up with me, was heaps of fun! 😳
And here I am now, recording voiceovers every day across every genre you can think of - bringing scripts to life for a living.
I couldn’t be more grateful to every client who has trusted me with their project.
Thank you for making my dream possible! 🙏
Here’s to fourteen more years of being a professional Scottish voiceover artist, delivering high-standard audio from her own home studio – no, make that forty more years! ✨
