Hey, there! Looking for a precocious, chameleon actor? You’ve found me! I’m Lea Lawson – a mixed race, bi, Australian actor who is eager to take on new challenges and collaborate with you, right from the comfort of my home studio!
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 stoic delivery, I am pliable to deliver your direction.
New to the voice game, I hold no ego and so take your wisdom of direction seriously.
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! I can easily call myself an improv enthusiast, and am a bit of a nerd too. My friends and family describe me as wise, adaptable, independent, playful, 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.
Am currently honing my skills at the Jennifer Hale’s SkillsHub. Training from there, and elsewhere, are listed below:
