What my clients say
Professional African Voiceover Artist based in Nairobi, Kenya
From Professional to Voiceover Artist: A Storyteller's Evolution
I am a Communications professional with over six years of experience within the Public Relations space.
From a young age, I was always looking to speak out and have as many words as possible come out of my mouth, whether it was requesting a condiment on my food or a striking conversation with whoever was within sight.
This love for speaking was carried on to my schooling where I was always first to volunteer to read aloud passages of text from class textbooks, while also joining the drama club in high school. This honed my speaking.
My love for all things nature and the outdoors has carried over into my work where I am now a specialist at documentary narration.
