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.
Speaking and Teaching
In 2022 I developed and still teach one of the UK’s first full-length modules in Acting for Video Games at a drama school at an undergraduate level, for the Institute for Contemporary Theatre. I’ve also taught and directed at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and Guildhall School for Music and Drama.
