Animation

Professionally Playful, Curiously Creative

My Mum was the Queen of silly voices. Growing up, I remember regularly cracking up at her impressions of my favourite cartoon characters. She always encouraged me to play, be silly, be bold.

In animation, those traits tend to come in handy. Those larger than life characters require fearlessness and a total lack of self-conscious behind the mic. I love letting loose, exploring and playing with characters while still finding the truth and reality of the character.

The range, Dahling, the raaaaange

My training as a singer gives me strong vocal technique, control and versatility. I effortlessly slip in and out of different characters, age ranges and moods. 

Have a listen to a few of my favourite characters in my demos below.

Award-nominated Voice Acting

I voiced the daughter in this trailer for the animated series “Zombie Family”.

For this, I received a nomination for “Best Female Performance in an Animation” at the 2025 UK One Voice Awards.

Leonie was amazing to work with! The clients (and us!) were overjoyed with what she brought to their character, and it went superbly well considering it was all done remotely with us all the way in Malaysia. We can’t wait to work with you again, Leonie!

Let me hear you sing

Singing is a huge part of the animation world. As a trained singer, your songs are safe in my hands…well vocal chords. Here are a few examples of my singing for animation (in German) for the kids Youtube animation series “Little Angel”
