She has performed voiceovers for Ordynek, Bringing the Pride of Poland to Texas in 2000 and The Braniff Pages in 2001. She has completed several radio works for BBC Radio 4, including The Dorabella Variation, A Certain Smile, and National Velvet. Maberly's narration of the audiobook Catherine Called Birdy, written by Karen Cushman, received an Audie Award in 1995. In 2007, Maberly teamed up with a London-area music producer to record several of her own songs for a new mini album. Maberly demonstrated her musical abilities by playing the piano in the 1995 BBC drama Mothertime and the cello in the 2004 short film The Audition.
