In 2022 Marta became a member of BAFTA Connect (Games) and in 2025 she was accepted as a Full Member of the organisation.
After working with the Holy Smokes Audio team in all 3 seasons of their audio production “Jackie the Ripper”, in 2023 Marta was cast as Mariana Ametxazurra (aka “Mrs. Hudson”) in their new show “Sherlock & co.”, produced by Goalhanger Podcasts. After only a few episodes, the audio drama reached the #1 spot in Fiction Podcasts in several countries, including the UK, and then went on to win several awards in the following years. In September 2026 the podcast had their first ever live shows at the Southbank centre in London as part of Goalhanger’s “The Rest is Fest”.
In 2022 Marta was nominated for several awards, including the BBC’s “The Marc Beeby Award for Best Debut Performance” for her role in the BBC Radio4 and B7Media courtroom drama "Barred", and was awarded the "Best Female Performance in an Audio drama" prize for that same performance at the One Voice Awards 2022. Marta was nominated for a second consecutive time for "Best Female Performance in an Audio drama" at the One Voice Awards 2023. She was also nominated by the International Women’s Podcast Awards in the “Best Moment of Dramatic Tension” category for her work in “The Silt Verses” (season 3). Her work as detective Bianca Buchanan in “Homicide at Heavensgate” was also nominated for various awards in 2024/25, several of which she won.
Early in 2017 Marta launched her own theatre company, Starbound Theatre, and in December that year they staged their first production, "Pizza Man" by Darlene Craviotto, at the Etcetera Theatre in London. On September 2018 Starbound produced its second full-length show, “I will miss you when you’re gone” at the Hen and Chickens Theatre, which got some great audience feedback and reviews. In 2019, Starbound co-produced new writing piece “The Net”, which premièred at the Tristan Bates Theatre as part of their Camden Fringe line-up. Although the company closed down in 2025 as a result of the challenges facing fringe theatre after the pandemic, everyone in the team was very grateful and proud of having produced and staged 3 full length plays in London.
Since starting her voice over journey, Marta has voiced characters in “Herald”(Wispfire Games), “Green Hell” (Creepy Jar Games), “Tom Clancy’s The Division 2” (Ubisoft Games) and “Control” (Remedy Games) as the Spanish voice for protagonist Jesse Faden.
During and after the pandemic Marta was lucky to be able to record form her fully equipped professional home studio and voiced characters in Warhammer III (Creative Assembly, 2022), Rough Justice ‘84 (Gamma Minus Studios, 2023), Backfirewall_ (Naraven Games, 2023), and the upcoming Glam Pursuit (Larky Labs, 2024); as well as the Audio Drama adaptation of Far Cry 4’ prequel “Far Cry: Rise of the Revolution” (Audible, 2023), amongst many other projects.
Since 2020 she is a performing member in the actual-play podcast by Merely Roleplayers “Vigil”, where she portrays Harper “The Searcher”.
What clients and audiences have said about Marta’s previous work:
“[Marta is] an instinctive actor who I predict we’ll be seeing/hearing a lot more of.” - Andrew Mark Sewell, B7 Media Producer
“Marta is a real joy to work with. […] she brought together a sly, melancholy wit and silky smooth style to the character’s dialogue and noir monologues. She has great vocal range, and the ability to hone in and subtly convey complex emotions with layered meanings.” - Richard Mills, Witer/Director
“[Jackie the Ripper] is the best podcast I’ve listened to in a very long time. Funny and clever, great actors too, and I’m sad I’ve finished it.”
“What a show! Brilliantly acted, brilliantly written, brilliantly gripping.” - Apple Podcast reviewers
“This brand-new audio drama follows the woman-hunt of Whitechapel, with sharp, satirical dialogue from voiceover actors from Mumbai to New Zealand” - Podbible
"Herald is a delight to play. It has a cast of complex, interesting, and incredibly voiced characters, beautifully captivating art design, and a fresh and fun story..." - The Overpowered Noobs
"Despite indie roots, Herald also benefits from superb voice acting, bringing the cast to life and livening dialogue-heavy sections." - Matt Kamen & Andy Robertson, The Guardian.
"[…]The voice acting is superb, some much larger developers could learn a thing or two from Wispfire." - Highend Gamer.
“[Green Hell] An infinite survival experience with a short intro on the story to come which has superb voice acting” - Steam EA review
“[…]a relationship which is bolstered by some superb voice acting from Brandon Fague and Marta da Silva that more than holds a candle to the similar walkie-talkie relationship seen in Campo Santo’s Firewatch. It says a lot that I would love to gush about Green Hell’s story, yet I have to refrain as its narrative is something that you should discover all for yourself.” - Jimmy Donnellan, Culturedvultures
