  Additional Skills

  "Helen is a vocal chamaeleon" - she's an excellent mimic, plays children convincingly, has a wide vocal character range from evil villain, and femme fatale, via a plum pudding and alarmed pigeon.

  While always well-prepared, Helen is a talented improviser, well known for pulling rabbits out of vocal hats – at a moment's notice if necessary.

  As a writer, she's also good with w̶o̶r̶m̶s̶ words, so will bring - should you wish - additional creative flair to your copy, ensuring every word counts.

  Short description of my voice

  Authoritative, reassuring corporate, to evil, cute or plain weird Gaming/Animation characters. Excellent mimic. RP, Native Westcountry.

  ""Helen is a dream to edit"" - Lisa O'Neill, Centre Screen Productions.
