I’ve always enjoyed using my voice and talking is a skill I’ve been very good at from a young age. If you asked any of my teachers at school I’m sure they’d agree!
I’ve always loved performing and I was inspired from a young age by my grandfather who was a wonderful actor. So it wasn’t a surprise when I went off to Drama School to pursue my dreams.
I got into voiceover work through acting.
I absolutely love being a voiceover artist and I enjoy working with my clients to bring their words to life. It’s so wonderful being part of fantastic projects and the voice is often such an important part. Being the voice that sells a product, conveys important information, engages and entertains the listener. I feel incredibly lucky to have a job I truly love and some amazing clients too.
While at Drama school I had a fantastic teacher who encouraged me to look into the world of voiceovers. So after leaving I decided to give it a go and I haven’t looked back. The first time I stepped in front of the mic I knew this was the job for me. One of my early voiceover gigs was the Virgin Media job I still do today! I also have a background in singing which helps me understand pitch, rhythm and variation in tone.Support the Show.

A P Wilding is one of London’s most sought after photographers, specializing in headshots and editorial photography for both adults and children.
Alexa first discovered a love for photography at Art College. She then took a change of direction and became a model and actress but continued taking photographs for pleasure, mostly headshots of fellow actors.
On turning professional she uses her experience of being behind the camera, to create an environment that allows a client to totally relax and become their real, best selves and thus create amazing images.
Some of London's top agencies chose Alexa to work closely with for their clients, as her work results in increased castings.
"I have been sending my clients to Alexa for several years and I have always had the most AMAZING feedback from every client that goes to see her. She put them at ease immediately; getting the know them, ensuring they’re happy and relaxed, and bringing out their individuality in every shot. She’s always interested to hear what I am looking for as an agent and is keen to take on any ideas or feedback to get the most out of every session. I have certainly noticed an increase in castings when a client gets their head shots done with Alexa – I think she’s fantastic and I wouldn’t send my clients anywhere else!"
