I am a voice actor and writer with experience in, and a passion for: voice-over, voice acting and writing without the use of ai.
My US American accent and my own natural Received Pronunciation British adjacent accent have been well tested by 9 Youtube Channels and various forms of Advertising Content.
My Tonal Range, from heavy and dark to casual and light, can be seen in my True Crime narration, my Lore Breakdowns or my energetic Tech Explainer Voice-overs.
In addition to voice work, I have previously served as script editor for a true crime youtube channel. The original scripts were, as described by the client, written by ai and I was brought in to add a much needed human touch.

I am exceptionally passionate about all things English. Teaching it, reading it, writing it, correcting it.
My passion for the English language extends beyond my own studies. I find great fulfilment in sharing the language with others and helping learners gain confidence in their communication skills. I hold a CELTA certificate (Pass A) which I completed in 2023. Thereafter I was able to teach English to adults of various proficiency levels from diverse backgrounds and careers. Connecting with people through language is a wonderful gift. I strive to ensure that each lesson is engaging, effective and aligned with my students language goals.
As for writing... I have enjoyed writing from a young age, this interest blossomed when I discovered stand-up comedy. When I was 18 I began writing short pieces which I would preform at comedy clubs and events whenever I could. My sense of humour errs on the dark side however being raised by a single mom forced me to take on the role of "dad joke maker" too.
Jokes aside, my writing skills are serious. I completed my Master of Arts degree in English Literature, I make a point to mention this as it is a clear display of my dedication to a project no matter how niche or tedious it may be. My writing, editing, and research abilities are of a high standard owing to my academic background and strong work ethic. As such I am confident in my ability to produce professional, timeous, high-quality results. I would love to show you my work and assist you with brining your projects to life.
