I’m an actor, voiceover artist and audiobook narrator with a home studio, in my mid-forties. I am mum to two fabulous kids and one seriously adorable Labrador. I live near London. Recent theatre credits include roles in London’s West End and The National Theatre. TV includes a recent guest lead for Casualty.

"As Christine, Helen Barford gave an outstanding performance"
after Miss Julie - Hexham Courant

"Helen Barford is the cast's shining star"
Moll Flanders - This is Kent

"Hilarious..confidently and flawlessly played"
Moll Flanders - What's on Stage

"Helen Barford is as good as it gets .brilliantly played…an ensemble performance of outstanding quality"
Helena - A Midsummer Nights Dream - The Stage

"Helen Barford gives a fine performance as Salome; her final speech, while caressing the severed head of Jokanaan,
restores the dramatic sensuality of the play."
Salome - Salome - Eastern Daily Press

"The acting was consistently superb especially King Herod and the seductive Salome".
Salome - Salome - Sheringham Independent

"" she and a strong Celia - for once made equally interesting - played their parts as a duet, delightful to see and hear"
