Why choose Sara? Here she gives a few good reasons…
Experience:
In addition to commercial and corporate clients, I have fourteen years of experience as a voice-over artist with major broadcasters: BBC World Service Radio, BBC Wales Television & Radio, BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting - the radio division of SSVC).
Much of this experience has been in live broadcasting, so I have a proven track record in pulling out all the stops when the pressure is on!
Understanding:
With nigh on twenty years of experience in broadcasting as a whole, I initially worked in a technical capacity: beginning my career as a Studio Manager (sound engineer) for BBC Network Radio.
In recent years, as a Senior Channel Director (an Announcer – with knobs on!) for BBC Wales, I took a pile of transmission tapes, pressed a lot of buttons, wrote scripts and talked (simultaneously), as well as directing and vision mixing news bulletins! As a result, I am sympathetic to the world on the other side of the sound booth and the demands on the whole production team.
I am respectful and patient, offer ideas if required, and enjoy taking direction, moulding my performance to suit your vision - in the words of just a few recent corporate clients:
"Sara was a joy to work with. She nailed the reading first time and responded extremely quickly to script revisions. I won't be looking anywhere else when I need voiceovers in the future." (JJ Hill-Wood Deepend New York).
"Splendid to work with, and that is the truth and not flattery!" (H Field, Field Productions UK)
"Your read was spot on and now that Dominic has added in SFX the piece sounds wonderful" (James O'Hara, O'Hara Comms/Reflex)
