Samantha Lynwood
Samantha Lynwood, 21, is a spirited media student at the University of Birmingham, where she’s immersed in the world of storytelling and communication. Studying both digital and traditional media, she has a natural talent for connecting with audiences and crafting engaging narratives. As a young woman deeply invested in both her studies and her family, Samantha lends her voice to her mother Catherine's book readings, where she embodies the character of Maggie with an impressive depth and maturity. Her unique tone and inflection bring Maggie to life, making her a fan favorite in the audiobook series.
Beyond her academic and narration work, Samantha has a keen interest in visual media, particularly in film and photography. She spends weekends exploring Birmingham with her vintage camera, capturing scenes that resonate with her appreciation for both the gritty and the beautiful aspects of city life. A true creative, Samantha is known among her peers for her eclectic taste in music, which ranges from classic rock to indie pop. She often creates playlists for the characters she voices, which she finds helps her connect even more with their unique personalities and stories.
When she’s not studying or helping run her mother’s website, Samantha is an active member of the university’s drama club, where she occasionally acts but mostly directs short performances. She finds that directing gives her a sense of control and freedom, similar to the feeling she gets when narrating a character. Her goal after graduation is to dive into the film industry, perhaps as a director or voice artist, using her experiences and studies to carve out a distinctive path in media. Samantha's vibrant personality, combined with her knack for storytelling, makes her a natural fit for Catherine Lynwood's world, bringing depth and life to every role she takes on.
