Who am I?

Would it make sense to say that my brain is British but heart Italian?

​

Growing up with two cultures at home, I've never known a monocultural life. A British father, Italian mother. What recipe does that produce?

​

Since my early teenagers I developed a knack for reading, performance, putting on different voices and personas to entertain in the moment. Never had I really imagined that skills like these could be used productively.

My so-called formative years were in Italy. I went to school there (St George's British International School) and ended up going to the University of Essex. The university was fine, but I felt like a fish out of water. It was only later on after dropping out of university (technically twice) that I found my way back to my roots of performing and entertaining.

​

I obtained an English teaching certificate [CELTA]  and relished in entertaining and delighting students, demonstrating the difference in accents and really improved the clarity of my speech to help them want to learn.

​

This is how the transition to voice over became an inevitability. British? Check. Voice that everyone likes? Check. Performance abilities? Check. 

While the start was largely coincidental, I realised that this is what I wanted to do and dove head-first into it, learning everything I could, receiving coaching and being the best possible version of myself. 

​

This leads me to today. Professional Voice Over, working internationally for companies as close to home as Italy and as far away as Mongolia.
