Lizzie Waterworth

Lizzie Waterworth is a British Academy Film & Television Award (BAFTA) Nominated Voice Artist, author and an international speaker, with a passion to help children and adults to unlock their potential, offering tools and tips to help others gain confidence in speaking and communicating more confidently in front of others, based on her almost 20-yearcareer of voicing in television.

Lizzie had her first break into animation voiceovers aged 22, and has been voicing award winning cartoons and video games ever since, including the lead role of Horrid Henry in the 4 x BAFTA nominated show, as well as characters in many well-known children’s cartoons and video games, such as the 8 x Daytime Emmy Award nominated show The Backyardigans (UK version), international Emmy Award nominated Mush Mush & the Mushables (HBO) and multi award winning game It Takes Two. In 2019 she was one ofonly a few voice artists to ever be nominated for a BAFTAaward for Best Performer.

When she’s not in a recording studio, Lizzie speaks and runs workshops at schools and workplaces in England, Europe, and the United States. She spoke most recently at the Yale University School of Management, where she has helpedmany people overcome their nerves about speaking in public in a unique, fun, and engaging way toward becoming confident, effective and powerful speakers.

"Those in the Yale School of Management, who are themselves often very skilled communicators, came away withmany thought-provoking insights, particularly as regards confidence in public speaking. Both presentations were very well received by students, and our faculty enjoyed speaking with you on this important area of communication. We'd like to invite you back for additional workshops in the future."

"We were lucky enough to have a visit from Lizzie on 2nd November 2021 as part of our Aspiring Authors Writing Week. Lizzie spoke to the children in all classes from Y1 to Y6 and was engaging with each class. Children had the chance to ask questions and Lizzie explained how she got into the world of being a voice artist. The children really enjoyed hearing the voices that Lizzie performs as part of her job. Each session with Lizzie was packed with fun, enthusiasm and was inspiring to all. Lizzie emphasised the importance of using our talents, whatever they may be, to inspire us in our future careers. Quite a lot of children were trying out different voices after the session, inspired by Lizzie’s talk. I would highly recommend Lizzie as an engaging speaker for your school."

"The sessions went very well. The timings were good and Lizzie was amazing! The boys were engaged and participated well. There even was time for a Q & A session at the end. The boys were raving about it all day and I had a few messages from parents and staff thanking me for organising such a wonderful event. Can’t thank you enough."

"The event went really well and Lizzie was fantastic. I think all the children (and parents) loved hearing about Lizzie’s journey and hearing her speak as Horrid Henry.

"Reading your examples from people like Harry Styles, Ben Shires even Princess Diana, shows it's normal and okay to be nervous.
