Irish *
(Southern, Dublin)
|
Naturally Light Southern Irish but uses a neutral English accent regularly on TV, stage & film without a trace of her Irish. She has two separate commercial showreels. The main one is Irish, the other one is labelled Neutral English.
Played Shirley Bassey so she has a very well practised Cardiff accent.
Her main narration clip is Neutral English, she has a stronger Irish, serious narration which you can also hear.
