Directing and producing a wide range of audiobooks - fiction and non-fiction - and corporate content. In advance of recording I prepare the script, liaising where necessary with the author and/or publisher. In the studio I work collaboratively with actors and voice artists, with a range of experience, ensuring that characterisation, pace, tone, sound quality and content are consistent and of the highest standard. I pride myself on establishing and maintaining a supportive and harmonious working relationship with the reader and having a meticulous attention to detail. I have recently started narrating non-fiction audiobooks including 'Grow your own happiness' (Audible 2019).
