Having trained as an actress and moved into TV as a live presenter you would think it would be the lights and cameras that Alex craves but one of the roles she has most enjoyed of late has been as a voiceover artist.

"You get sealed into a soundproof booth with a glass of water, pen and script for company! You'd be forgiven for thinking that sounds awful but it's such a great job! Maybe it hails back to acting as the VO artist's interpretation and intonation can change the whole feel of a piece."

Alex always knew her vocal sounds were distinctive:

"Quite often, when I'm out and about, I'll notice someone looking at me thinking, 'I know her... where do I know her from?'. Nine times out of ten the penny drops when I say something, as they recognise my voice!"

Alex's first full series as voiceover artist was Ch4 and E4's 'Fool Around...'

"This was reality-meets-dating and had the same quick turn around as something like Big Brother i.e. you would be voicing over events that happened the previous day for transmission that night. It was really good fun to work on!"

The next series was Discovery's Wedding Planners.

"Another pleasure to work on. The producers were so lovely and knew exactly the tone they wanted for the programme. This is critical if the vo artist is to provide the sound they're after."

Other voiceovers have included Ch4's 'Deal or No Deal' and Five's 'In The Grid'.
