Welcome, Treasure! I'm so glad you stopped by.

Allow me to tell you a little about myself. I'm a mix of so many things - I'm British, south Asian and Parsi Zoroastrian - I like to say I'm a rare shade of brown. I'm a born and bred Londoner, and now live in sunny vibrant Madrid.

And yes - my surname really is Engineer. If you don't believe me, just ask my mum. And if you were looking for an audio engineer, you might need to retrace your steps!

I've been using my voice for performance since the tender age of nine in Speech and Drama classes and school plays. Ever passionate about the performing arts, I was a member of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. At university, as well as acting and directing, I studied English including phonetics, which gave me a great foundation for listening and imitating accents, words and sounds. I also dabble in singing once in a while and love a panto ("Oh, no she doesn't!" Ohhh, yes she does!")

Fast forward to today and I'm now a professional VO artist specialising in commercial, explainer, and video game/animation. However, I don't like to limit myself, so if you have a project in mind and think "Ooh, I like the sound of her", don't hesitate to get in touch! I enjoy being stretched and challenged in new ways. All I want is for your project to be the best it can be, so if I can help with that, let me know.

I have a wealth of experience in drama, vocal and voice work and have trained with Darren Street of The Voice Reel Studio. I take direction well and I'm not precious about my work - if the client is happy, I'm happy.
