TV roles, airports and silly self-tapes

May 1, 2025
So far this year, I’ve been loving my new representation by Emptage Hallett on the acting front and Monster Voice for, well, voice work!

Highlights include that I’ve shot a lovely little role on an HBO/BBC show that should be on screen later in the year and was delighted to find out that the camera in my face was to be controlled by a guy I’ve known for many years and whose graduation film I was the lead in! I’ll drop full details of the show here when it airs. 

Outside of that I had the pleasure of filming both land and air side at Bristol Airport - though sadly not jetting off to exotic locations! - making a film supporting passengers needing special assistance and the airport staff couldn’t have been more lovely. 

I’ve also had various silly self tapes as always and it’s a pleasure to create characters and tell stories even on the jobs I don’t land. 

On the voiceover front, I’ve been invited onto a podcast later this year and I’m looking forward to that as something different and exciting! 

Until the next update…

After a decade as a company director, working in and around various corporate enterprises, it’s always lovely to return to the world of business with projects such as this presenting role where I got to expound on the benefits of PRINCE2 around project management.

2023 comes to a close

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!

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

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...

Variety is the spice of life!

May 5, 2022
Amongst other things, April 2022 saw me arriving in the 90s to interview the subject of a legendary headline, getting medical, travelling to far off planets to sport a false mandible and providing my voice for an Italian pasta chef and for a group of ads for a major electronics company.

Never let it be said that I will be typecast and here's to an equally varied May!
