Marilla’s classically-trained theatre background brings gravitas, strength, reliability and sophistication to corporate copy. Her stage combat skills find their way into her videogame dialogue delivery and MOCAP performances.

Brilliant voiceover artist! Quick communication, flexible with schedule and great at taking direction during the session. We are very pleased with the final product. Would highly recommend hiring Marilla for your voiceover projects!

Chloe Flexman

Marilla was amazing. She hit the right tone for the piece, even auditioning using multiple accents, which she did brilliantly and changed my mind of what accent I originally thought would fit. Will be using Marilla again in the future. Quick turn around and very professional voice over.

Paul Wingfield

Marilla is one of the best artists we have worked with. She nailed the script delivery with little direction. We needed this project recorded with a 24 hour turn around which she did without any hassle. We would recommend her without hesitation. We look forward to working with her again!
