But whatever the day has in store for me it goes something like this:

• 8am. A swim to wake me up and stretch my muscles.
  Other people may choose to have the newest swanky car and designer clothes but my husband and I prefer to have an old mini, shop in charity shops for clothes and afford a pool. The humidity is great for my voice too and the added TV in the room means I can watch motivational videos to start my day off with a positive attitude.
  I have recently started watching www.jonathantilley.com but Oprah Winfrey often gets a look in and Ted Talks www.tedtalks.com are an excellent source of interesting ideas.
  It’s also a great way to pick up handy tips on voice over techniques and ideas to listen to while I swim.
• 8.30am. Coffee and breakfast of chopped fruit and cereal while checking emails,
• 9am. A quick walk for Tilly my dog and then off upstairs to The Quiet Room, aka my home studio.

I try to get any immediate office work like replying to emails or marketing done first and then, as I said before, it depends what I have to do.

At the moment I am on the hunt for an audiobook so I check out ACX which is the website where many authors list their books for narration. I can look for books in a particular genres and then once I’ve found a possible that fits my voice I will download the audition script and record a short section.

• Lunch at around 1.30pm. Usually something light like soup or a sandwich and more coffee. Coffee can be a bit dehydrating for the voice but the amount of water I drink in my studio makes up for it I reckon. I might read over a script while downstairs or check through social media for half an hour before going back upstairs
