ABOUT ME
Welcome to Apple Tree Audio, and to my little corner of the internet offering award winning voice acting and audio production globally.
You have probably arrived here as you are looking for a voice actor for your audiobook or project.... so let me introduce myself and let's see how I can help you!
My name is Charlie, I am an Award-Winning, British born, USA based actor, recording from my beautiful, coastal based pro-home studio, 50 minutes from Manhattan USA.
I have worked for many of the largest blue-chip companies in the world as Global Communications & Events Manager. I have also worked as Creative Director for a global cosmetics brand, building the business from scratch, together with the CEO, to the point at which it was then was successfully sold.
I hold a 2:1 BSc (hons) in Food Science and Consumer Psychology. A Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma. And as an actor I have trained and performed at the Bristol Old Vic and Theatre Royal Bath. More recently I have studied with the Adler, Anthony Meindl, Joseph Pearlman schools of acting as well as boutique coaching with some of the worlds top acting coaches.
My experience means I bring a wealth of knowledge of the corporate and commercial world to my work, and an understanding of what consumers want and need.
You can hear me in Animations, Audiobooks, Commercials, TV narration, TV / radio promos and Video Games, as well as through my work with global music producers to mesh the beauty of the spoken word with vibrant uplifting EDM tracks.
Happy clients include: BBC, Christian Dior, Disney, Diageo, ESPN, Google, Lionsgate, Max Mara, Netflix, Shopify, Spotify, Universal Music Group, Victoria Beckham, Virgin Atlantic, Warner Bros and many more.
I have also had the honor of voicing projects with two of my three children - Rue and Leo who also do voice acting and are pretty awesome at it to!
I really connect with dark, disturbing, eccentric characters. I love to tell stories of heartbreaking, forbidden or powerful love. I am a person who doesn't shy away from darker, grittier material, and I welcome playing disaffected loners. But equally I am at home voicing the Hallmark-esq copy and audiobooks that encourage you to pull up a chair and get cozy.
If you like what you read and hear, why don't you reach out and let's chat - with no obligation. We can talk over the phone, Zoom, or if you are local to me in NYC, we can meet in person over a cup of coffee!
If I'm not the right person for you, I'm sure I can help find who you are looking for within my wide network of fellow talent. I have helped refer and cast many over the past few years.
I can't wait to help you breathe life and love into your project.
Charlie xoxo

Awards & Recognition
This Regency-era mystery will baffle and delight listeners.
In a soothing, self-assured voice, Allie Rose portrays a headstrong duchess who struggles to clear her husband's name when he is found drenched in blood beside the murdered body of an opera singer. Audrey, the attractive Duchess of Fournier, knows her gentle, intellectual husband, who is homosexual, is innocent despite the compromising evidence. Rose portrays Audrey's resolution and her passion. Hugh, the chief investigator, sounds composed yet often irritated by Audrey's interference.
This audiobook has suspense and a hint of romance. Rose defines the characters well.

Allie Rose's light, genteel performance is just right for the fourth novel in Cara Devlin's Bow Street Duchess series.
Once again, Lady Audrey and Bow Street runner Hugh Marsden must solve a baffling puzzle. When his half-sister, Eloisa, is brutally murdered during a ball, Hugh becomes the prime suspect. Meeting in secret, Hugh and Audrey set out to prove his innocence and to find Eloisa's killer.
Rose deftly handles the simmering relationship between Hugh and Audrey while heightening the tension as multiple layers of complicated sibling animosities emerge. The investigation reveals the well-hidden circumstances surrounding Hugh's birth, as well as a sinister plot to get rid of him. Rose narrates all the audiobooks in this entertaining series, and she just keeps getting better.
