Happy 2018!

January 22, 2018
Various work this month including starting a presenting role with a new client which looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.

But I mainly wanted to get in a quick "Happy new year!" before January is finished.

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy and successful 2018.

December 20, 2017
After managing to fight off a lost voice and virus and completing a fun voiceover assignment up in Stroud, I feel that now is the time to wish one and all a very merry Christmas!

Where is everybody?

November 26, 2017
A quick post simply to show my giant face looking out over an empty Watershed cinema, Bristol, at tests being conducted ahead of a screening for Fat God Films which included their Nahemi Kodak competition entry film, in which I featured.

I just enjoy the fact that I seem to look so appalled that there is nobody there!!

Psychedelic documentaries and surreal TV shorts

November 20, 2017
The last couple of months have seen rehearsals for a project coming up next year as well as the usual flow of voiceover work.
Additionally, I've completed a couple of filming projects where it was lovely to have been invited back to work with people again - I must have done something right the first time!
I worked again with the Calling The Shots folks for Channel Four's Random Acts project in a love surreal short about the impact of everyday noises and commotion on people who perceive the worl...

Walking holidays and leading cults

August 14, 2017
The last month has seen me involved in the first of two music videos I've been signed up to - playing an odd cult leader with misogynistic tendencies! I have always said I enjoy playing against my own character so don't be too worried. I'm greatly looking forward to the finished video as the song is a good one. I'm not allowed to tell you the name of the artist as yet, I'm afraid.

Amongst other things, I was also thrilled to be playing another comedic character for Telling Tales Films in their...

Quiet!

February 6, 2017
For someone who often makes a living as a voiceover actor, it is interesting, if not ironic that I've been involved in many film projects where I don't say a word! From the music overlaid "Whatever the Weather" which showed on the giant screens in Bristol's Millennium Square over the festive period and popped up on local news, to my latest two projects.

I recently completed shooting for the Kodak Nahemi Awards "Room with a View" with a range of grunting noises in a future dystopian world of le...

Multiple me!

October 19, 2016
After a busy few months, including working away in Norway over the summer, I've been spending a lot of time in the green screen studio of the wonderful Band Films, both directing other actors and more recently in an on screen role about emotional literacy.
I'm very much looking forward to the finished emotions film as it features not only a little bit of juggling (always fun!), but also multiple versions of me. I play the role of presenter and also various versions of me as wonderful caricatur...

Languages

May 11, 2016
A chunk of April was very enjoyably taken up for me to record with talented folk in their native language. As luck would have it I was asked to record and edit three voice actors speaking the three foreign languages I love the most: French, German and Spanish. I had already provided the voice of the English script and it was lovely to be able to help my client with direction in languages of which he had a limited understanding (and one he claimed to know nothing of at all!) at the same time a...
