Here's my story ...
People often ask me how I got into my career and coaching voice and presentation to creatives and companies and dialects to professional performers. In a nutshell ...
Upbringing & LanguagesA LIFE OF VOICE & COMMUNICATION
I was born in Sydney, Australia and grew up from the age of 2 in Vanuatu (a French-speaking South Pacific tropical island off the east coast of Australia). I spoke 3 languages there: English, French and the national creole language Bislama.
Added to that, my father spoke 9 languages and loved text, and my parents loved theatre and musicals. So my upbringing was filled with voice, cultures, accents, languages, storytelling, self expression and creativity. |

Professional Performer & CoachTRAINING IN ACTING, VOICE & DIALECTS
I trained as a singer then at 22 graduated with my Bachelor of Arts in Acting.
I performed professionally in Australia and New Zealand as an actor, singer and voice overs artist ... performing in 2,000 seat theatres, solo at a VIP Dinner for the Prime Minister of Australia, and recording voice-overs for leading brands such as NRMA, AMP, Prouds Jewellers and Kennards Hire. |
I graduated as a Voice and Dialect Coach from the renowned National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA) in Sydney. Coaching dialects saw my Vanuatu upbringing in cultural voices and languages mix with my Australian performance training and experience. There began my career in training actors and creatives to find their own authentic self, voice, expression and success.
