The purest form of Voice Acting

Radio plays, fiction podcasts, more and more audiobooks being produced as ensemble pieces. The demand for audio drama is as high as ever. And I could not be more excited about that.

Acting for audio dramas is one of my favourite areas of the voice acting world. Coming from a theatre background, there is just nothing like the connection you make when acting in the same room (physical or virtual) with other actors.

Those little spontaneous miracles that only happen when actors are listening to and feeding off each other.

Finding the truth in a character and telling beautiful stories is why I became an actor in the first place. Acting in audio drama feels like going back to this purest form of acting.

If you have an audio drama project that I might be right for, drop me a line and I’ll be happy to record an audition for you.

“Leonie brings warmth and humour to the recording studio, masterfully playing strong, sensitive and committed characters whilst also being able to pivot and adapt to fellow performers and work as part of an ensemble to produce the best performances from everyone.
A multi-talented, multilingual and multi-faceted performer, I would highly recommend Leonie for your audio drama”
— David O'Mahony, Director (Big Finish)
