I started singing because I come from Wales

I enjoy all aspects of singing and I'm luckily given the choice to be part of different styles of music.

I work on my voice through what I have to sing.

Welsh is my mother tongue, and my children speak it. If you come and live in this community you'll work out pretty quickly that it's beneficial to learn the language, because if you're going to the pub or a cafe you need to be a part of the local life.

Good acting is about being as natural and calm as possible. These days producers have such definite ideas that you have to be prepared to do whatever they ask.
