"Say something you think would fit..."​
AND, IF YOU'D LIKE THE FULL STORY...
Born in Sweden, raised in the South of England as a hair-raising kid who herded sheep and stormed the countryside barefoot. A fearless hellion who never grew out of it, but instead turned all that mad energy toward making cool art.
​
I began teaching myself to make stop-motion animation with my parents' camcorder at 6 years old, dubbing in all the voices and working some deeply weird magic with Windows Movie Maker and its shocking transitions library. From then on, the only thing in my sights was how many ways a story can truly be told.
Around 9, I developed ME/CFS and it stopped a lot about my life in its tracks. I didn't have the energy I used to, couldn't do P.E. at school, went through years of blood, hair and skin tests, hospitals, appointments, therapy, graded exercise, you name it.
​
Nothing helped until I found theatre. It was the first thing that made me feel like an ordinary kid, and I was actually good at it... so in truth it made me feel extraordinary. I had to make a lot of sacrifices to pursue it -- even breaking my voice at one point by performing a musical with laryngitis, but the thought of not doing it at all was too devastating to consider. I've never sung soprano again, but without that experience I wouldn't be doing what I do now.​​
​
I'd never take it back, not in a million years.
After that, I knew performing is what I have to do to be the happiest version of myself. I sort of accidentally fell into voice acting at 17, somewhere in the heat of teaching myself how to write and produce an entire audio drama series that I cast back when Behind The Voice Actors was an actual casting site...
​
And something clicked for me. I loved videogames, anime, all kinds of animation... but had never clocked that voice acting was, like... a thing... you could do? That I could do? That I had to do, because I forgot to put a casting up for one specific character, and figured I'd just do it myself. But I absolutely loved it. So I went to see what else was out there.
Went on to study Theatre & Performance at the University of Warwick, where I specialized in Contemporary Shakespeare and snagged a First Class with Honours -- including on my 10k dissertation on voice in videogames creating the connection of "souls" through a screen. I even wrote and produced a couple of plays that won awards along the way, which instilled in me my deep love for dissecting dialogue.
​
All the while, I kept up with a steady stream of voice acting roles, expanding my repertoire of voices and honing where I could.
​
In 2020 I read for a Masters in Dramaturgy & Writing for Performance at Goldsmiths, even having a piece about womanhood commissioned by London's Company Three. I was right about to have my dissertation text performed for critics and literary agents when... COVID-19 happened.
Trapped inside, with the future of theatre in flux -- especially as someone with a chronic disability -- I knew there were some choices to make. At least, that's what it felt like.
But maybe it was a wake-up call when that final project of mine was performed over Zoom, instead of onstage. My work was being voice acted right in front of me by some hired actors. Laptop mics, latency, no action but in words. But all the intimacy I'd written into that piece about two grieving sisters came through like magic. And it felt obvious after that.
​
They found a way, and so would I. I set my heart to VA then, and never looked back.
