English voice-over artist – Alexia
Case Study
Alexia is an English voice artist with a naturally smooth, velvety & friendly voice-over style. She can bring a wide variety of scripts to life; from an engaging professional corporate read; to a fun lively kids commercial.
Her natural accent is RP but she has an ear for accents and can effortlessly perform character voices from across the globe. Alexia left school and studied Drama and Film at Queen Mary University London, along with acting, singing and dancing at Covent Garden’s Pineapple Studios. She caught the acting bug and went on to complete several courses of Character acting along with improvisation and monologue technique at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Upon graduating, she was offered the chance to work with London Greek Radio, providing voice-overs for their commercials, jingles and station imaging. With a passion to spread her voice-over wings further, she trained and recorded a professional voice-over show-reel and has now completed a variety of corporate, commercial, documentary and radio, for companies such as Bose, Spotify, Audible, and Ipulse.

The Big Word
Friendly and efficient service
The speed of response, and friendly, efficient service from all staff was quite exceptional. Matinee particularly stands out by putting the customer’s needs first, even when the job is relatively small and a bit of a technical challenge. I would strongly recommend Matinee for any subtitling work.
