As an experienced Voice & Performance Director, Casting Director and Dialogue Producer, I work across games, animation and audio/radio drama. I specialise in the casting, creation and capture of compelling performances for voice, motion capture and performance capture, working with actors and production teams across the globe.

I trained in music, performance and sound engineering in New Zealand. After moving to the UK, I spent 8 years working in broadcasting for the BBC and trained in theatre direction. I established Sounds Wilde in 2010.

Sound Designer

My work as a sound designer has explored aural worlds for audio and radio drama, audiobooks, plays, operas and other voice-centric projects through soundscapes and sound effects.
