Working with Abbe was the best thing I could have done to kick-start my voice over career. The most skilled and experienced voice over artist in the country, she’s also a wonderful, passionate teacher who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I made my demo with Abbe and was accepted by Australia’s leading voice over agency, EM Voices.  I can’t recommend her highly enough – you won’t find a teacher with more expertise in the world of voice over than Abbe.

Abbe’s been central to the growth of my professional voiceover career since I approached her in 2017 for coaching. I was a blank canvas, with zero idea of the world of voiceover.  She’s a role model who not only guided me on effective performative and strategic elements but also taught me to understand and hone my own branding and how to stay relevant. She’s an oracle within the VO community and has been actively engaged in the evolving industry landscape for decades, generously sharing her wealth of knowledge. Highly recommended is an understatement.
