For me, all narration is a form of storytelling. The best narrators weave a world through their voice so listeners feel invited to step-in and safe to stay. I personally can't resist the voices of Terri Gross, Sir David Attenborough, Christina Amanpour. Although each work in a widely different genre, their voices are a portal to another world. Depending on the context, they can modulate their voice to be as smooth as silk, as smart as a whip and as strong as a rock, yet always staying connected to the essence of the story. For these reasons (and more), they are my inspiration and influences.
When it comes to Voice Over, Narration is Essie's first love!
Her TransAtlantic accent is especially suited to cross-border stories, international politics, travel, holistic health et al. Her voice conveys warmth, compassion and resilience.
Perhaps for this very reason, she has been the official voice of IRC's (International Rescue Committee's) many documentaries and commercials.
Whether it is a major international brand or a small business, Essie brings the same love and dedication of story-telling to all her projects.
A LITTLE SECRET - A top coach and VO in the industry recently vowed that with Essie's talent and voice, he expects to hear her in the near future on major documentary channels such as National Geographic, Discovery, Travel etc!
