About
Three Decades
Of Voice
I started my voiceover career when performances were still recorded onto analogue reel tape. More than three decades later, my work spans commercials, television, documentary, corporate narration and public events across Africa and beyond.
That journey has taken me from intimate company training films to stadiums and auditoriums at events such as the Africa Cup of Nations opening ceremony, the Kora All Africa Music Awards, and the CNN/Multichoice Africa Journalist of the Year Awards.
I am based in Johannesburg, bringing a warm, authoritative voice to projects intended for headphones, television screens, radio and live audiences.
