MY STORY

Ione Butler parents

MORE ABOUT MY JOURNEY...

I am the daughter of a English mother and Bahaman father and was raised in Southall, West London, a predominantly Indian and Pakistani neighbourhood so I know a good Indian curry when I taste one.

I trained at two prestigious drama schools in the UK — “The Brit School of Performing Arts”, an institution known for nurturing the talents of famous alumni like Adele and Amy Winehouse, and “Rose Bruford College” , graduating with a BA Hons in Acting.

Out of college, I toured in a theatre production that visited over 20 cities across the UK. I later starred in the feature film, “The Adored”, and in commercials for brands like McDonald’s, Blackberry and Deloitte. I then moved to Los Angeles, where my career took off.

I started working with Google’s Niantic Labs (the company behind Pokemon Go) on their flagship game, “Ingress”, where I hosted over 125 episodes of “The Ingress Report,” a weekly show aired to the game’s 20 million players. This led to a starring role in the cult classic “Zoombies,” which premiered on Syfy and has become so popular that it garnered a prequel. That same year, I co-starred in an episode of “CSI: Cyber” alongside Patricia Arquette.

UPLIFTING CONTENT

In 2016 I founded Uplifting Content, a digital platform with a mission to uplift and empower people to make an positive impact. Learn more about Uplifting Content here.

VOICE OVER ARTIST

I voice commercials, animations, video games and audiobooks in my native British and very natural American accent. I’m also proficient in dubbing and have an equipped home studio for recording.

Ione Butler, Voice Over

Around this time, I began booking more and more voiceover work and have gone on to narrate dozens of audiobooks for top publishing houses including Audible Studios, Simon & Schuster Audio, Harper Audio and was nominated for an Audie Award for “Dark Eden,” produced by Random House Audio.

I have also leant my voice to commercial and in-house projects for brands including Apple, Marriott, BMW and Dyson. I’ve dubbed numerous foreign language TV shows into English and have recorded voice overs for hundreds of films, apps, animations and video games.

 

Alongside my acting career I founded “Uplifting Content,” a social media platform, podcast and blog with an audience of over 1.4 million people. Designed to uplift and inspire those with depression and anxiety I create and share video content, blog posts and interview prominent individuals like Prince Ea, Gabrielle Bernstein and Christine Hassler for The “Uplifting Content Podcast”. Through my social media channels I talk to the Uplifting Content audience via Facebook Live, sometimes speaking to upwards of 20,000 people, providing a safe space for them to share their stories.

I released my first book, “Uplifting Stories”, published by Simon & Schuster. It is a collection of 19 true inspirational tales, each followed by an exercise designed not only to educate but also to inspire the reader to take positive action towards their goals.

I am available for acting, voiceover, hosting and speaking engagements and look forward to hearing from you
