Hey, there! Looking for an intuitive, chameleon actor? You’ve found me! I’m Lea Lawson – a mixed race (Aussie/Philippine), bi, part-time hearing aid wearer, non-union Australian actor who is eager to take on new challenges and collaborate with you, right from the comfort of a home booth in Adelaide, Australia!
My voice can be described as melodious yet grounded in the moment… and a bit closer to english than your stereotypical Aussie due to where I was born and raised (South Australia). Whether you require a friendly and approachable voice, a trustworthy and informative tone, an alluring presence, or even fire and ice, I am pliable to deliver your vision. I perform in native Australian, general American and general English.
I hold no ego and so take your wisdom of direction seriously – whether it be a through a live directed session or recorded asynchronously. I also have just shy of two years experience in improv, via an actual play, so I have good instincts for timing, drama and comedy.
I have a lifelong love of watching and listening to film and television, playing video games, and “committing to the bit”, so this acting career feels right! And, like many VAs, am a bit of a nerd too. My friends and family describe me as independent, playful, wise, and very go with the flow (INFP-A, anyone?). Captivated with wanderlust too, I am open to working with anyone across the globe! My travels have garnered me an open minded perspective, and I am also open to relocating for a project (I recently spent six months in Canada and would love to go back!)

I currently record remotely, using the following set up:
- Microphone: Rode NT-1 5th Gen
- Headphones: Audiotechnica ATH-M50xBT2
- Laptop: Asus ROG Zephyrus M16
- DAW: Audacity
I’ll work with a global reach on projects such as the following: animation, audio dramas, commercials, e-book narration, and interactive. Live action is on the table too!
End game? I want to specialise in audio dramas, and mocap/pcap/interactive va!
And it should go without saying but I do not consent to AI cloning of my voice. I require the signing of an anti-AI rider (AAVA or NAVA) when we work together; this is for the benefit of all creatives.
Below is a list of my social media so you don’t have to do the hunting 😉
