Hi, I’m Sandra, I'm a blind voiceover artist. I’m also a classically trained soprano singer, a stage and TV actor and a radio presenter.

Listening is a key skill in learning an accent.
As a blind performer, I’ve had a lifetime of this and I’m so excited to teach you how to listen and what you need to pay attention to so you too can learn any accent you want.
