Melanie is the proud owner of a well-constructed voice with a no-nonsense, down-to-earth kindness and compassion that works well for charity and community projects and anything with a good bit of humour in it.
An instinctively natural narrator and a versatile character actor, Melanie’s character dialogue is excellent, instantly bringing scenes to life for the listener, whether they be intensely emotional and dramatic, comedic, quiet or tense and edge-of-your-seat.
She narrates in a light northern (British) English regional accent or neutral British RP and has a great ear for accents – often being booked to narrate or voice characters with regional accents from across the UK and international accents such as South African, Croatian and Russian among many others.
Clients include Penguin Random House, Harper Collins, Dreamscape, Bloomsbury, the BBC, Cancer Research UK, MIND, Alzheimer’s Society, Bauer Media, Imagesound, The National Grid, Staropramen, University of Sheffield, University of Nottingham, the TUC and many others.

Meu estúdio é composto por:
Uma cabine vocal autônoma, projetada e construída sob medida - excepcionalmente bem isolada e sem reflexos

Microfone Rode Nt2a - um microfone de ótima qualidade que tem um som neutro, então não encobre minha voz natural, apenas a realça. A análise da Sound on Sound disse sobre ele: "Ele tem um som elegante que parece rico e natural (e é) extremamente silencioso."

Interface Solid State Logic 2.

Gravando em um M1Mac Mini

Edição/produção usando M2 Macbook Air

Eu uso o Audacity como meu DAW porque ele foi criado para dubladores e tem muito suporte online

Eu me conecto à internet via Ethernet e posso usar o Source Connect, o Cleanfeed ou a conexão de sua escolha para sessões ao vivo.
