"I contacted Susan for an arts project about nature and the environment. She is a consummate professional, not only for her talent, but her ease and grace in providing options for the project with little direction and on a last minute deadline. Her narration was just the right sentiment for the project and is the perfect fit for what I hope will be a long lasting collaboration.”

" Susan immediately had some great ideas and knew exactly what I wanted. She helped me with my script, and recorded a beautiful Intro and Outro for my podcast. She also put music on the track and it adds so much to the product. Susan is a talented, competent professional with such a lovely voice. I cannot recommend her enough !"
~ Margot Escott LCSW - ‘Improv Interviews’
"Susan has a unique and naturally listenable voice! She is an absolute pleasure to work with and provides a totally professional service".
~ Rhino Energy , UK
"The most important criteria for us was to keep our clients and team members engaged while learning about our company/services, and you achieved this. We look forward to working together again in the future." ~ EZ-Brix, USA
"We are a global organisation and have been searching for a professional and refined voice to represent our brand; with you we found everything we were looking for, thank you".
~ EHP, Europe
"Susan worked directly for me for 10 years; she is versatile, hard-working, loyal and trustworthy and was a highly valued member of the head office team. She represented the Company at events both in the UK and abroad and was an excellent ambassador. I have no hesitation in recommending Susan as a valuable addition to any organization". ~ S.R. Bertram
Group Financial Director, Ramco Energy plc, UK
"Susan worked for me as my Senior Personal Executive Assistant and was chosen by the University after a wide public search. This is an environment with considerable pressure, serving constituencies varying widely from senior businessmen, through internal managers, to various idiosyncratic academics of high distinction and she handled both the pressure and these constituencies extremely well. Susan is cheerful, personable and popular; I can recommend her without reservation".

"Susan, you are delightful to work with! You have a flair for comedic material and it comes from the ability to “let go”. When you use your facial and physical expression, it definitely works well for you and the audience laughs as you are a riot!! When you roll it out, get loose and have fun with the exaggeration, you really pull it off
"Susan, you are delightful to work with! You have a flair for comedic material and it comes from the ability to “let go”. When you use your facial and physical expression, it definitely works well for you and the audience laughs as you are a riot!! When you roll it out, get loose and have fun with the exaggeration, you really pull it off. Comedy is challenging and not easy, although a good actor can make it seem so. You have stage presence and a personality that adds to your ability to create the comedy. You have commitment and determination, as well.
I would love to work with you again!!!"

"Susan, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed having you my in cast.
At our first meeting I saw something in you that made me immediately pick you for the role you performed. I loved the way you became this character, even adding the great “prop” you brought with you for the day of the performance.
It was so you!
When I direct again next season,
I would love to have you as part of my cast."

"Dear Susan,
You truly embodied the adorable/trashy-cat-on-the-street! Thank you for making it so much fun. I don't act but I've heard it's hard to play an animal. You made it look easy.
Thank you!"
~ Natalie King, Playwright - "Where is Man?"
"Susan, you are playful, and you can’t teach that.
Wonderful work!
You have a knack for characters and I hope
we can work together again."

"I am happy to say that you are indeed
on the right track ,and that your recording
is an absolute delight.
While I typically recommend a few 'tweaks'
at the onset of recording, I really don't feel that any aspect of your performance warrants
any adjustment.
Splendid work and we are of course delighted that you're lending your talents to this title

Susan's Story

Originally from 'magical~mystical' Scotland, where the National Animal truly is the 'Unicorn', I became a world adventurer at the age of nine and have since lived and worked in the UK/Europe and North & South America, with time spent in Africa, Asia and Australia ~ Antarctica is on my wish list!

Originally from 'magical~mystical' Scotland, where the National Animal truly is the 'Unicorn', I became a world adventurer at the age of nine and have since lived and worked in the UK/Europe and North & South America, with time spent in Africa, Asia and Australia ~ Antarctica is on my wish list!
~
From the age of five I loved performing onstage (fittingly, my debut was as Archangel Gabriel,
the Angel of Communication!),
in dancing shows and competitions,
choir performances and piano recitals.
With a love of poetry, particularly Robert Burns' – ‘The Bard of Scotland’, at the age of 11, I won
‘The Robert Burns World Federation National School’s Competition’ for my recitation of
‘Tam O’Shanter’.
You’ll also find me reciting at Burn’s Suppers and occasionally performing, 'for fun only',
a quick version of the Scottish Highland Fling alongside my dear friend and international musical comedy entertainer Jimmy Keys.
~
In 2010 I began building the foundation of
my voiceover business, in parallel with
my corporate career.
As well as studying, training and private coaching,
I spent seven fun years behind the mic with
'Sight Into Sound', a non-profit station enriching the lives of individuals with visual, physical and learning disabilities, working live on-air and in recorded radio including compiling, recording and producing a program 'This Week In History', which aired for four years and was nationally syndicated.
In 2017, after living and working in Houston, Texas for almost 16 years, we moved to beautiful
Naples, Florida..
In 2018 I achieved my goal of becoming
a full-time Voice Actor and in 2019 I was honored and humbled to be awarded the prestigious 'Society of Voice Arts and Sciences J. Michael Collins Academic Scholarship'.
I will be forever grateful to have had the
opportunity of moving to NYC in February 2020,
of living in West Village, studying at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting, working with the Society of Voice Arts and Sciences at their offices in the historic Ed Sullivan Theater building on Broadway, and, being coached and mentored by the best of the best...
~
Before beginning my creative venture,
I studied Business Accounting & Administration and enjoyed a successful and rewarding career working within business teams, in demanding and challenging roles alongside senior executives who were visionaries and key decision makers in Energy, Finance, Academia and
with a Regional Medical-Health Board.
Corporate Event Management was also a major part of my roles and included large industry conferences, galas and company events.
I also traveled on business to
London, England; Bergen, Norway
and Baku, Azerbaijan.
~
As an outdoor adventurer, I love hiking, biking, camping, off-roading, and photography.
I also love living a few miles from a National Park and steps from nature, the water and wildlife, while being deliciously inspired by my soul mentor
~ 'Mother Nature' ~
For me, this truly is 'Heaven on Earth'

In my spare time I write children’s books! www.BrambleBunny.com

Giving Thanks By Giving Back
As a lifetime voracious volunteer, I have served thousands of hours in the UK, USA and South America, working with animals, children, senior citizens, reading services, theatre and media.
Over 20 years ago I also trained in
Transcendental Meditation.
After giving a presentation on ‘Meditation’ at
The Naples Players, one of the top five community theatres in America, I was honored and humbled to be invited by the Sunshine Kids Foundation
to ‘Help Children With Cancer Smile’
by creating a mind settling meditation program to help support the children and their families through tough times.
