Sarah Golding

SARAH GOLDING has been as prolific as she can in as much fun audio fiction as her wonderfully bonkers life would allow. 


Sarah revels in producing fun audio and started Quirky Voices in 2018 having been voice acting since 2016... and was proud to see the creative teams win AUDIOVERSE AWARDS last year for her Quirky MOONOLOGUE SESSIONS, which were released last year to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landings by the USA. 


What is even more exciting is the offshoots of show that have continued to develop as a result of this 2019 Quirky new writing competition, and so Sarah cannot be happier with the inspiration creativity in ensemble gives. Look out for One Star by Jeremy Ellet (Subjective Truth) and Artemis by Faith Mcquinn (Boom / Margaritas and Doughnuts).


Acting is Sarah's first love though - but she keeps getting distracted by shiny other things....


FEEL FREE TO CONTACT HER FOR VOICE WORK, DIRECTING, VOICE ACTOR WORKSHOPS, PODCAST WORKSHOPS, PODCAST FESTIVALS OR PRODUCTION ORGANISATION!
