About me
Professional Voice Artist and Actor, 30 years varied experience and a BA Hons. Degree in Theatre Acting. Experience of TV, short film, Live Interpretation, Role-play and Theatre. Excellent team player and a strong ideas person, a flexible character actress, able to take direction or work on own initiative.Due to COVID, my husband, Dave Allen, and I are available as a 'couple' to make your casting easier. Dave has experience on set and is a teacher of 40 years experience, so is used to performing.
We're based in Halifax West Yorks, own transport and happy to travel.
As a Voice Over Artist I have successfully completed over 400 jobs from explainer videos to computer programmes. Telephone IVR is a speciality, (can also supply background music). I have my own studio and can record MP3 or WAV files and edit accordingly with a super-fast turnaround time - usually within a couple of hours. Personal sample? - please get in touch or visit my website - www.karenallenvoiceover.co.uk
Self-Recording
I have an Aston Origin mic, a sound treated recording booth, and edit using the latest version of Audacity and Isotope RX7 for voiceover work.I also have a ring light, a plain grey wall, and record using a DSLR or my iPhone for video
