Fern Lulham is a public speaker, broadcaster, podcaster, audio description narrator, disability awareness trainer and qualified psychotherapist. Little wonder then that she describes herself as a freelance communicator. Born severely visually impaired and now registered blind, Fern’s passion for communication started in early childhood when she would use an egg-whisk for a microphone to “interview” friends and family!
Never one to pass up the chance of an adventure, Fern studied for her degree in Radio Broadcast Communication thousands of miles from home at Western Carolina University in the USA. She has gone on to use that experience as a presenter, reporter and producer of many radio broadcasts, including for BBC Radio 4 and the World Service. She also successfully hosted and produced a podcast on dating and relationships called "Into you".
Drawing on her lived experience of sight loss, Fern is a powerful public speaker. She delivers engaging speeches that produce light bulb moments for her audiences, inspiring them to meet the challenges we all face whether disabled or not. Her CV includes a TEDx talk entitled “What online dating looks like when you’re blind” which achieved a standing ovation from an audience of nearly a thousand people.
To unwind, Fern loves to watch true crime dramas or going for walks with her beautiful guide dog, Nancy.
I have done lots of voiceover work narrating audio description for clients ranging from Netflix to Disney+ to ITV to Channel 4 to Sky and many more.
