“Mia is the consummate professional. On a very tight timeline, she not only rocked a flawless first cut at our script ahead of schedule, but made the process infinitely enjoyable and oh so simple. I look forward to our next project together! ”
“I’ve worked with Mia Fothergill for many years. She is unfailingly brilliant - tons of natural talent and terrific to work with.”
Oh look, here’s some of my happy clients!
“Not only is Mia beyond prepared for every session, and, a literal one take wonder, she’s a pure joy to work with. She has a never ending energy and a creative ability to make everything sound better. ”
“I came across Mia months ago and just fell in love with her delivery. Her rare mix of warmth and professionalism inspired me to find a way to use her for a client film. The perfect job came up, and the client shared my enthusiasm! The process was smooth, fun, and the results simply perfect. Love working with Mia, and will make sure it happens again... ”
“Mia provided a clear timeline on when she would complete our time-sensitive projects. Knowing we had tight guidelines on length requirements, Mia practiced the scripts ahead of recording time and flagged the ones that were hard to fit in without rushing through so we could tweak scripts right away instead of scrambling at the last minute. It really helped that she thought to do that early - greatly appreciate working with someone who goes the extra mile!”
“It was great working with Mia! Being able to do a live read through of our script was extremely helpful as we were able to give some quick direction and hear the results in real time. Mia was very thorough, took direction very well and ensured we were happy with the final product.”
“Excellent work Mia! My sound mixer was extremely complimentary of your recording job. And needless to say the quality of the work was fantastic.”
“Ticking all of the boxes for our experience with Mia! She is incredibly professional and worked with our direction and tight turnaround. We are so pleased with the quality of her work!”
I sometimes feel my whole life was training for a career in voiceover, even when I didn't yet know it.
I was only nine years old when I began my professional acting career, and I spent the next decade and a half honing my skills in this field, starring in films such as A Room With A View, theatre productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company, and TV programmes like the sitcom Side by Side, for BBC One (check out my IMDb!) But it was while working at a radio production company in my early twenties, that I first had the opportunity to work with voice actors, do some voice directing and learn audio editing - and I absolutely loved it!
Even when I went on to train as a Registered Midwife in 2000 and made the move to Canada in 2007 to continue practicing, I always embraced the performance-based and educational elements of my career. I spoke at conferences, ran workshops and became a media spokesperson for my professional association. I spent years learning how to effectively tailor my communication style to my audience, whether it was one of my students or a room full of doctors. And having my 2 kids was yet another opportunity to carry on refining my narration skills, with each and every children's book I've read out loud - and there have been thousands! My children are my strongest critics, and they have taught me well, bless their little cotton socks. So, when the time came for me to move on from midwifery after nearly 20 years of being on-call, I realised that voiceover was the natural choice for me.
It felt like coming home.
In short, I love what I do, and I couldn't stop doing it if I tried.
When you're looking for a voice to bring your project to life, just let me know what you need and I'll make it happen.
I work from my home studio, on the shores of the beautiful Georgian Bay, Ontario (from where I am lucky enough to see a huge range of wildlife, right outside my door. I get very excited about this, so don’t be surprised if you get a cool turtle or otter picture along with your audio). Oh and don’t forget, I’m always happy to do custom auditions for you first, to make sure you are getting exactly what you want, first time, with zero hassle. I look forward to hearing all about your project!
