Actor. Narrator. Accent Acrobat
Areas I work in
Audiobooks
Voiceover
Character Work
I narrate almost everything from cozy mysteries to literary fiction and just about every world in between.
But to be more specific; my portfolio includes Historical mysteries, psychological thrillers, contemporary fiction, romance, rom-coms, romantasy, fantasy, sci-fi, horror, suspense, historical fiction, LGBTQ+ fiction, comedy, spicy romance and the wonderfully difficult-to-categorize stories that sit somewhere in between.
With 200+ audiobooks behind the mic, I’ve played everyone from sharp-witted sleuths and society ladies to morally grey lovers, terrifying villains, ancient beings, mothers, monsters and characters you definitely wouldn’t want to meet in a dark alley.
I work with clients in all areas of VoiceOver production; from luxury and lifestyle to sports, entertainment, tech and global campaigns, I’ve lent my voice to brands including ESPN, Spotify, Shopify, Max Mara, Christian Dior, Disney and Warner Bros.
Commercials, TV promos, trailers, brand films, corporate narration and everything in between, whether the brief calls for elegant and elevated, warm and conversational, bold and authoritative, or something with a little more edge, I bring an actor’s instinct to every read.
Great VoiceOver isn’t about simply having a great voice. It’s knowing exactly what to do with it and having years of dance training sustains me for long sessions on my feet.
From video games and animation to immersive storytelling, I’ve stepped into the shoes of heroes, villains, mothers, monsters, warriors, aristocrats, AI, creatures — and everything wonderfully strange in between.
My character work includes projects across Warhammer 40,000, Disney and Warner Bros., bringing an actor’s instinct, an accent acrobat’s ear and a genuine love of play to every role.
Whether I’m creating a voice from scratch or finding the emotional truth inside an established world, every character gets their own rhythm, personality, history and heartbeat. Because the best character voices aren’t simply different they’re believable.
I'm a mum, wife, sister, friend. Actor first
storyteller always. Curious human behind the mic.

Because the best performances don't just come from technique, they come from being human
I’m bringing not only years of craft to the mic, but a lifetime of curiosity, experience and connection.
I’ve travelled, lived and studied in different countries, immersed myself in different cultures, listened to different languages and accents, and spent a lifetime fascinated by people, how they speak, how they behave, what they reveal and, perhaps more importantly, what they don’t.
All of that comes into the studio with me.
The places I’ve been, the people I’ve met, the joy, heartbreak, humour, chaos and wonderfully ordinary moments that make up a life. They give me somewhere real to reach when a character needs vulnerability, strength, rage, tenderness, wit or courage.
Training gives me the tools, experience gives me the instinct, curiosity keeps me searching for something new in every character I play.
So, pour yourself a cuppa and let's chat...

![They say not to read your reviews. I disagree
Because when the reviews are like this: YA
As the story ended, I was still immersed in the world and in Albers’ performance, and I could honestly have listened to a sequel straight away! That’s always the sign of a memorable performance for me.
And this: Romantasy
Rose immediately draws you in. Rose uses a sly and almost menacing tone to really convey another side of her character that I wasn’t fully expecting but that kept me thoroughly entertained. Rose shifts her performance again as Architecti reflects on all that’s happened, delivering a thoughtful and emotional closing performance that leaves a lasting impression!
And this: Thriller
What stands out most is how she conveys Natasha’s maternal instinct, her fear and concern for her son are really evident in her tone, which draws you into the story.
And this: Psychological Thriller
It’s a dynamic performance that shows both Brittany’s emotional fragility and inner strength, keeping you invested in her outcome!
And this: Comedy
Charlie Albers [is] known for her dynamic character work in contemporary, character-driven novels just like this one.
And this: Rom-Com
Albers narrates all of her spiraling thoughts and wildly exaggerated worst-case-scenario rants with tons of expression and great comedic timing—and you’ll laugh out loud, roll your eyes humorously, and be fully entertained! Even when Summer makes impulsive, questionable decisions, the narration makes her feel relatable and endearing, so you won’t help but root for her!
And this: Cozy Mystery
Charlie Albers’ performance greatly elevates this story to give it a cinematic feel, and you’ll be laughing, in tears, and everything in between.
And notes from fans like this:
Thank you for bringing these stories to life so beautifully. Your narration is honestly perfection, and I truly can’t imagine anyone else as Octavia. You have such a gift for making every character feel real, and it’s a huge part of why I fell so in love with these books.
