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 ...

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.

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:

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!...
