Underground Voicing and Summer Gigs! (Voice Note 4)
Through the heat of May, I was never far from the welcome cool of my subterranean voice booth. I’ve been recording for clients in France, USA, and across the sweltering UK. From fairytales to deep tech, it’s been one of those months when I chuckle to myself at the strange mix of material I’m recording…

A Blossom Takeover (Voice Note 3)
Hello and happy blossom time! With an unapologetic visual takeover by some of the blossom diversity around me. After what felt like a nicely stretched-out easter of overlapping academic holidays, it’s been a while since putting the proverbial pen to paper. Along with lots of family catch-ups and a dollop of DIY, I’ve been loving…

On the Art of Layering (Voice Note 2)
It’s been a month of many layers! And I’m not just talking about knitwear. Although, thanks to the new ‘Wuthering Heights’ film, the world can now appreciate (perhaps a bit too much) that Yorkshire is indeed, prone to a little ‘weather’.

Inside the Voiceover Booth: A Little Corner of Sound Perfection
To step inside my voice booth is to be at once isolated and connected. The chunky door closes with the satisfying ffft of a fridge (incidentally where the seals are reclaimed from). 1 x 1 m of acoustically treated silence envelopes me, bringing deep focus and calm. Meanwhile, headphones, mic and computer screen, connect me…

Our Voice Matters – Women’s Safety in Public Open Spaces
I always consider it a great privilege record research content, especially on such an important subject as urban design for women’s safety. When chosen to narrate a film entitled ‘Women’s Safety and Security in Public Open Spaces’ for the University of Leeds, I was naturally engaged with the content: My university, my city and the…

Wandering Through Ancient Pompeii: A Voice from the Past.
History and travel are two of my favourite things to talk about! So when I was asked by my client Millk Media to work on a voiceover project about the ancient city of Pompeii, I was delighted. My role was a relatable voice from the past: Flavia, a young female Pompeii resident of AD75. Flavia…

Softly Loudly
Hello! Thanks for popping by. Softly Loudly is an album I recorded in 2020, releasing weekly between 1st Jan – 19th Feb 2021. At the time, I wrote a little about each song – grab your headphones too, as you can listen while you read! The album in its entirety, and everything I’ve recorded previously…

Self-Love and Ladybird Books
If you happen to be spending the 14th of February in South Korea, you might be inclined to give a man the gift of chocolate. And if you are Finnish, you won’t be doing Valentine’s Day but Ystävänpäivä – ‘friends day’! We grow-up with so many customs surrounding love and I started thinking about the…

Over to you!
I decided maybe it wasn’t my turn and I needed the creative energy of others. This week I’ve received the generous gift of freshly penned poetry from two opposite sides of the globe. And bang! The intersection of this serendipitous pairing (geographically somewhere around China) is magically, right here for you to enjoy.
