Deborah Balm

Warm, rich British alto specialising in characters and accents.

A British narrator with a warm and engaging voice, Deborah breathes life into stories across genres, from steamy romantasy, to gritty crime, to historical fiction.
She delights in crafting unique characters, immersing herself in diverse worlds, and connecting with listeners. With experience narrating for major publishers and indie authors, she brings dedication to every audiobook project. 
She speaks German, Dutch and French and has a wide range of UK and European accents in her narrator's  toolkit.
When she's not in the booth, you'll likely find her at home in Cambridge sipping tea and knitting something cosy, all supervised by her pug Evie.

Accents and Dialects

Generic Accents

Generic Accents are stereotypical or slightly over-the-top accents where regional accuracy is less important than interesting characterisation. Often used in settings not based in reality, eg, Dystopian, Futuristic, Virtual Reality, Alien, Fantasy, Children’s Literature.
