BIO
Lauren Steyn has been working as professional voice artist since 2003.
She has a naturally husky, rich tone to her voice and her ability to portray varied styles and characters in stage and film performance is also evident in her voice work. From more confident and energetic, sexy and seductive to friendly, cute and innocent.
Some clients include: Hungry Lion, FHM, Johnson's and Johnson's, Cosmopolitan, Esprit, Santam, Archers Aqua.
Lauren recently completed a radio presenting course with ccfm as well, where she focused on the more neutral and non biased tones.
As a singer, Lauren has also been involved in a number of musical projects and local bands. She also writes her own material on the guitar. She has great vocal range and her singing voice has been described as both jazzy and gentle to a hard blues-rock feel.
