Ally also shares her personal story during the conversation. About Ally: I’m a British Voiceover Artist, and Actress. I moved to the USA in 2022 with my family. Now I enjoy working globally with my clients from my recording studio in the Pacific Northwest, in between hiking, paddleboarding and doing Mum stuff! I GREW UP IN THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRYSIDE OF SHROPSHIRE, ENGLAND. From an early age, when I used to force my neighbours to watch my (truly cringeworthy) front porch shows where I played all the parts, I always knew I’d be in the entertainment industry. I studied Performing Arts and landed my first TV role on The Grimleys in the late 1990s. AFTER FEELING LIKE I NEEDED TO SEE A BIT MORE OF THE WORLD, I applied to fly as one of the bearded billionaire’s airline crew members and I worked for him for 14 years meeting incredible people, experiencing different cultures and having many crazy adventures! These years helped me understand how important communication, experiences and connections are to us all. IN 2012, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK INTO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. and found my love for voiceover & onscreen work had never gone away. So I waved goodbye to the skies & have since enjoyed working with some wonderful clients in Commercials, Corporate, E-Learning and Video Games. What I truly love about my job is that it’s all about connections, connecting to our customers, connecting to a vibe or a new idea or connecting to a story. My experiences around the world help me do that for you and your clients. Thankfully my connections nowadays don’t involve mad dashes through crowded airports in a red pencil skirt and high heels. Now, I am truly an international voice as I am based in beautiful Washington State in the USA, about 15 minutes out of Seattle, working with clients all around the world.
