Overwhelm and inundation. We navigate such a busy world.
How to hear what's important?
Meeting needs. Versatility. Accessibility. Compassion. Presence.
"Getting inside the words". It's been a lifelong obsession. Wisdom. Wit. Fun. Depth. Real... or Ethereal. Clever and quirky, subtle and serious, grace and gravitas.
A Theatre & Film degree and post-graduate degree in Radio & Television led to work across those fields and in the music industry. I cultivated production, acting and writing chops, a solid technical foundation, attention to detail, and a rich understanding for the "big picture" goals of a project.
I've lived and learned in Canada, the US, Continental Europe and the UK. Neutral English, mid-Atlantic/transatlantic, or general North American sounds come naturally, but an aptitude and sensitivity for character, accents and dialects gives me a lot of flexibility.
So, a foundation of formal studies plus a long list of ongoing training with top talents and coaches inform my work.
But really, it all comes down to the school of life.
