As a classical drama graduate my voice combines a friendly warm R.P. accent, a native Yorkshire warmth when suitable, with a sober 50s gravitas and a wide array of accents: American (Mid-Atlantic, Standard, NY, Southern States), London (subtle and Cockney), Scottish (Glaswegian and Soft Highlands), Dutch, Russian and more.
Aside from learning Standard English R.P. speech, I was blessed to be raised in Hampshire and then more fully in my parents' native Yorkshire, so I had a heightened appreciation for received dialects and accents (and the characters they conjure) from being very young. As an actor I developed a great 'ear' for these and get to use them often for all types of acting work.
