2023 comes to a close

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Thursday, December 28, 2023,
As the year draws to an end and we're in the period between Christmas and New Year where many people forget what day it is and whether or not it's socially acceptable to have cheese and Prosecco for breakfast, I am reflecting on the past twelve months.

Amongst the many things I'm proud of, there was being involved in Wonderland2, a colossal project organised by Brad Shaw that saw 175 voiceovers reading a minute section each of Alice Through The Looking Glass to raise money for Cancer Research ...

An amplification of voiceovers!

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Sunday, August 20, 2023,
I don’t know what the collective noun for a group of voiceover should be but I like an amplification! Or perhaps an acoustic, a cold-read or even a pick-up of voiceovers 😂

Whatever it is, there was one this weekend, at a voiceover social I organised in Bath in the southwest of England. It was fantastic to meet many talented and interesting new people as well as to catch up again with wonderful friends. By all accounts a good time was had by everyone!

Coincidentally, during the evening, I s...

Audies 2023

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Tuesday, April 11, 2023,
I was incredibly honoured to be nominated for an Audie in the Sci-Fi category for my narration of Ymir by Rich Larson, produced by Audio Factory for Hachette.
Whilst I didn't attend the award and I didn't win - that achievement went to Intergalactic Exterminators, Inc by Ash Bishop, narrated by Scott Brick and Suzanne Elise Freeman - it was a delight to watch the ceremony online and see Rosamund Pike accept her award and Whoopi Goldberg's message. There were so many worthy winners and nominees...

Voiceover

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Tuesday, March 23, 2021,
I begin the recording of another audiobook tomorrow and I am grateful for the brilliant quality my booth has been providing this year. This new book will be produced remotely by a producer I've not worked with before, over speedy fibre broadband, using CleanFeed. 

The booth has been getting a lot of use and has already paid for itself emotionally as it works its way to doing so financially!

I've recorded everything from calm breathing techniques to shouty vikings and I'm looking forward to all ...

Double Figures

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Sunday, September 27, 2020,
As I await the release to audible of my ninth and tenth audiobooks, I am reflecting on my work in this area and the pleasure it's brought me.

My favourite story to narrate has to have been Suzanne Kelman's A View Across The Rooftops, set in Amsterdam in 1941.

Some of the quotes from audible listeners are below:

"I couldn't stop listening from the very beginning. The narrator did a fantastic job bringing these characters and their anguish of living during the war to life...It deserves more than f...

2020 - audiobooks, sausage factory and busses

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, February 26, 2020,
Jobs, like busses, tend to come in threes, or fours, or even fives. They just have a habit of turning up when you least expect them. So far in 2020 I will be lending my voice to various audiobooks, corporate messages (about a fictional Sausage Factory amongst other things) and my image to the back of Welsh busses.

More news and perhaps pictures and sound files to come...

2019!

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Tuesday, January 8, 2019,
As we progress into 2019, I reflect on the new clients and new experiences gained in 2018, from cartoon voices on Nickelodeon's Nick Jr and characterful voices for audiobooks to presenting about cultural awareness around the world and photoshoots to appear on the back of buses!

I look forward to a 2019 filled with just as many exciting projects and new friends to be made. If you're reading this I hope we can maybe find opportunities to work together this year and make even more great memories!...

Multiple Personalities...

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, August 15, 2018,
Recently, I've been bouncing between a couple of voiceover studios voicing the character Timmy for Nick Jr show Sunny Day and recording an audiobook with Audio Factory.

It's always fun to create new characters through just their voice and for the audiobook I've been recording, as well as narrating, there are over 30 additional characters to voice. I can't wait to share it and see what people think.

Sunny Day extracts can be viewed on the Nick Jr UK website.
