I am the first voice your story hears.

I get inside your head. I become you. I know your fears, your desires, your insecurities — how your father loved you, or your mother ignored you — and I make the audience feel your soul.

That’s not a metaphor. Trained as an actor, with a Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts, I don’t approach a project as an engineer. I approach it as a performer. I become the story. I inhabit its characters. And then I find the sounds that make an audience feel what you felt when you first imagined it.

Twenty years of that. From Auckland, New Zealand, to Netflix, Peacock, BBC, Prime Video — and every short film that deserved the same devotion.
