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 ...

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...

It was a real pleasure to record such interesting reviews and articles from the European Liberal Forum covering topics about liberty, liberalism, the "end of history" and religious toleration.

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...

I’ve often said that I love to take on the unusual projects and that I’m not afraid of something a bit different…
Well, this music video for Transatlantic duo, Ready, Steady Die! was certainly different. 
I got to work again with a favourite director of mine, Max Clendaniel and he even came to my neck of the woods to work with the wonderfully creative Immix Media. Max took the band’s fantastic song and seed of an idea and created a wonderful story, full of humour and surprises!
It’s be...

After sterling work from Max Clendaniel slotting together various clips I threw at him to make a cohesive new comedy showreel it is time to say goodbye to my old comedy reel which served me well, over a long while.

So, I'm sharing it here one last time!

Having recently dipped a toe or two into various comedic roles from music videos to corporate films to Spanish tourism and even prank videos, it was a delight to receive this praise today:

“Had a look at the footage earlier, it is so unbelievably funny! You are very much the new standard for casting and we’ll definitely be in touch with more work.” Kieran Jenvey, Producer - Dirty Jack
