Hi, I'm an Irish-South African Actor and Narrator based in Ireland. I have over 10+ years of experience in the acting industry in Ireland and am currently working on audiobooks and animation projects.
I am competent in a range of accents including: Irish (Dublin, Neutral, Northern), American (General, Southern, New York, California), British (RP, BBC, London, Neutral), French, German, Russian, Slavic.
I currently use the pseudonym Cate Morrigan for Monster Romance and very Dark Romance genres.
I've been in love with storytelling since I was twelve years old, recording pretend audiobooks in my bedroom and mixing them with music and sound effects on an old desktop computer. What started as a childhood dream never faded; in fact, it only grew stronger with time.
Today, I'm an emerging voice in the audiobook world, with credits including Savior by K.M. Mixon, Out of Bounds by Raven Kitts, and Playing My Cards Right by N. Owens. My voice is often described as rich, emotionally dynamic, and deeply sincere; perfect for stories that live in the heart long after the final page.
With a background in drama and years of dedicated coaching, I bring a blend of vulnerability, intuition, and heartfelt performance to every project I take on. I seem particularly drawn to romance, emotional fiction, and character-driven stories, where I can connect deeply to the narrative and the people within it.
I believe every story deserves to be felt, not just heard, and pour that belief into every word I speak behind the mic. Whether you're looking for soft intimacy, fierce passion, or quiet strength, I bring my whole heart to the booth, every single time.
