April Breakfast: Sara Mendes da Costa - the new speaking clock
Friday 27th April
At the point of being about to expand her profitable telemarketing company, Zebratalk, Sara finally admitted to herself she was close to hating it! At this turning point in her life, she gave the staff notice and decided to follow her dreams. She started to pen a novel and to support herself she kept on a couple of telemarketing clients while at the same time using her tenacity and self-promotion abilities to launch herself into the competitive world of voiceovers.
18 months ago, Sara was finally able to leave behind the telemarketing industry, and concentrate solely on writing and voice work. She set up her own home studio and established a client base including ITV, Airmiles, Champneys, Boots, IBM and many more. Last November, Sara entered the BT Speaking Clock competition. She was long-listed, short listed and then was thrilled to be chosen as the winner from 18,405 applicants. As from 2nd April 2007 Sara is the new voice of the Speaking Clock. A great champion for feeling the fear and following your dreams, Sara whole heartedly believes in doing what you enjoy in life, and most certainly not the opposite!
