Sharon Mawhinney

Sharon’s interest in film began as a child, spending hours with her father, who worked as a cinema projectionist. She was involved in theatre and dance from a young age, and her interest in performing has stayed with her since.

Her acting work includes ITV’s The Secret, TG4’s Racht – The Murder of Connal Boyle, and the BBC documentary Chinook: Zulu Delta 576. She has also worked on many independent films, including Lydia, a short film supported by Screen Ireland and Virgin Media.

Sharon has considerable experience in commercial work, having appeared in television adverts, online campaigns and photographic shoots, and voicing radio campaigns, for clients including the Health and Safety Executive, Moy Park, Galgorm Hotel and Sofatime.
Alongside her acting work, Sharon has trained extensively in television presenting in London, including studio and location filming, autocue and interviewing. Her training includes working with Michael Watkins (Sky News), as well as practical experience at Camden Studios and 3 Mills Studios. She currently presents the Mid-Morning Show on City Groove Radio.

Voiceover has been a significant part of Sharon’s career for over 20 years. Her work spans television and radio advertising campaigns, narration, short films and promotional projects, as well as ADR work for BBC television. She records from her own fully equipped home studio and continues to work regularly in voiceover alongside her acting and presenting.
