Gina McKee
A wonderfully honest voice, oozing with quality and maintaining her distinctive regional edge.
Highly respected BAFTA winning actress with numerous star credits to her name.
Olivier Award nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role 2011 for 'King Lear' at The Donmar.
Naturally has a very subtle Northern hint, not always traceable. Her Commercial Montage is pretty neutral & is her natural accent.
Born in Durham, Gina originally had a natural Geordie/North Yorkshire accent which has neutralised over the years. She can strengthen or weaken as desired & sound completely at home. Listen to specific samples.
