Vinette Robinson
Fresh, street, real. Characterful regional voice.
Leading theatre actress. Was mentioned as 'one to watch' by the New York Times in January 2012.
Vinette's main commercial reel is both Neutral & Northern. Her natural voice is a very light Northern, verging on Neutral/RP. In both Northern & Neutral accents she sounds equally natural.
She was born in Bradford but since moving to London, the two accents have intermingled & neutralised with all her theatre work. One or the other can be removed with no effort.
