Voiceover
Commercial & Narration
My voice is youthful, bright and approachable, and ranges from enthusiastic to informative and trustworthy. I can make an immediate connection with your listeners without sounding too rehearsed or phony.

As a professionally trained actor with over 13 years stage experience, I can give your character more than a voice; I can give them a beating heart. Be they grounded, exuberant or utterly deranged, I pride myself on my versatility as well as my commitment.
I am also an avid gamer, and appreciate the impact genre has on vocal style. Whether you are searching for the sombre contemplation of a solitary Firekeeper or the manic gung-ho energy of a Helldiver drunk on ‘Freedom’, my skills are the perfect tools with which to enrich your work.

A Highland Song (2023)
I am absolutely thrilled to have voiced the player character Moira in Inkle Studio's new game A Highland Song.
Follow Moira as she goes on a mysterious adventure through the Highlands of Scotland, accompanied by the music of TALISK and Fourth Moon.
A Highland Song is out now on PC, Mac and Nintendo Switch.
I recorded all Moira's lines from my Home Studio.
Best Performance: Runner Up 2023
"As young Moira McKinnon, MJ Deans is delightful company across her rambling journey through the Scottish Highlands. Pivoting from wise-beyond-her-years observations to adolescent sulks that remind you she's still only a child, Deans makes each and every mood swing, however sharp, feel wholly authentic."
