ACcent samples

Alongside my primary speaking voice of contemporary British voice, I have a native Yorkshire accent and a broad repertoire of regional and international accents. Regular performance accents include RP, Yorkshire, Geordie, Scouse, Manchester, London, Irish and Scottish, as well as French, German, Dutch, Russian and American.

I also speak Dutch, German, and French.

For audiobook work, I use accent alongside character, vocal quality and placement to create distinctive, believable voices across large casts.
