Current Work

Voice Acting

I have been working as a voice actor since 2018. My experience is primarily in audiobooks, explainer videos, charity adverts indie video games and animated voice overs.I am not a classically trained actor. I've grown up with a very comedic and performative personality. As a teenager and young adult I performed in musical theatres and in various choirs. I produced Improv Comedy for over 5 years. I've delivered confidence building workshops and played characters in immersive theatre experiences. I produced and co-hosted a podcast for 5 years. I say all this to demonstrate that while I'm not an actor in the 'classical' sense, what I offer as a voice actor comes from my unique experiences interacting with people and entertaining audiences in a myriad of different ways.I record from my home studio, using a Focusrite Scarlet mono audio interface and a RODE NT1-A microphone. I use REAPER to capture my audio.Please contact me via [email protected] if you'd like to work with me. My rates are flexible based on project size and budget.

Production

I've never hesitated to get myself stuck into an interesting project. I'm a technical problem solver who is comfortable taking a large piece of work and breaking it down into the smaller, tangible steps, necessary to get that work done.I've worked in Hospitality (Soho House) and Events Management (University of Oxford, Oxford Imps), giving me a real sense of how to align complex timelines, resources and expectations and create something fun, impressive and dynamic.Outside of my full time roles I've supported organisations and worked with my friends to create our own passion projects.You can learn a bit more about these projects below.

Events

Whether it's on the front line; in costume, preparing drinks and being social butterfly or behind the scenes, aligning details, filling in spreadsheets and sending emails, I can always be found contributing to a big event in a big way.Within the Games Industry I frequently organise digital events such as careers advice live streams, Q&As with industry professionals and workshops that teach key skills. I've even organised In Person events such as a 100 person meet-up on the seafront of Brighton and a 150 person ceremony in central London to celebrate the start of a 2024 programme.On the front lines, I perform as an immersive character at Camp Wildfire, I have provided riddles to overnight puzzle solvers during Midnight Madness 2021 & 2022, I work as a professional Dungeons & Dragons DM and MC at dance festivals in Oxford.Below are some photos and links to that show off some of the events work I've done.

Community

You may or may not be shocked to hear that I do a lot of work with communities. As a Community Manager I want to create spaces where members can get the information they need quickly and without friction, and bring together like-minded people to form new networks and friends.

Here are a few Discord Communities that I have managed:
