Professional Profile
January 2005 – Present:
Presenter/Producer: BBC Radio Sussex | BBC Radio Surrey | BBC Radio Kent
Being on BBC Local Radio 6 days a week for the past 19 years, there isn’t much I haven’t done both on and off-air! Crucially, I remain as passionate today as I was when I began. Whether I’m interviewing ‘Mabel from Milford’ about Pumpkins, ‘Barry from Bognor’ about the Air Ambulance, or Chris Tarrant on surviving a stroke & Glenn Hoddle on surviving a heart attack; my empathy, humour, professionalism, experience & life-skills work to bring everything together into something that’s so real; everyone can relate in some way.
With that same passion, I’ve provided Voiceovers for corporate & NHS phone systems, books for school children, poetry & more plus I’ve hosted numerous high profile events & opened many shops, fairs & charity events. I have my own broadcast-quality recording equipment, and can turn work around quickly.
Weekdays, I provide the most bespoke, accurate & relevant ‘Travel You Trust’, getting the travelling public from wherever they are to wherever they are going, at the busiest time of the day….all with a smile in my voice!
Having spent 19 years building a relationship with local communities……What do the listeners say? “You are like having a friend in the home, who brings warmth & comfort to our lives” and “Your voice even makes chaos on the M25 sound calm & bearable”!
What do my colleagues say? “You’re a first class broadcaster who serves her audience with passion & pride” & “You are without question ‘The First Lady of Travel’ Sylv!”.
I’ve laughed on-air, I’ve cried on-air, & our listeners have laughed & cried with me! I’ve sheered a sheep on-air, broadcast from the top of a Cherry Picker, been both a Cow & a Rat in Pantomime(!) & undertaken all kinds of ‘crazy’ for Children In Need!
If I was asked what makes ‘magic’ whether it’s on the radio or doing Voiceover work, I’d say……….”talk as if you’re talking ‘to’ every individual, like they are the only one, & do it like you love it with every fibre of your being”….because I do.
On top of all this, in the mornings’ I’m a Nurse in the NHS…maybe because I love people, maybe because I’m passionate about making a difference…but I know this…I love everything I do & it’s amazing how often & how beautifully these jobs & talents dovetail.
During The Little Gaps I Get When I’m Not Working, I Love…………
