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!

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!

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!...

This year has seen various jobs and projects, with two of the most interesting ending up with me in cartoon form.
Firstly, my voice has been lent to a character who looks nothing like me! I have been voicing Timmy in Nickelodeon's new series
Sunny Day as well as a few additional voices.
Sunny Day videos can be viewed here on Nick Jr's website. The show is about a group of girls and their dog who run a beauty salon and play in a band together! It's aimed at 4-7 year olds.
Episode one has been bro...

A wonderful few months since the last update, with the British summer now a dim and distant memory.
I've kept busy with roles varying from multi-accented voiceovers and strangely attired photo shoots to the seriousness of playing a terminal patient. I've thoroughly enjoyed all the challenges that have been thrown at me. There was also the humorous distraction of a friend spotting my name in a local newspaper article in his favourite kebab shop and posting a photo to Facebook.
Since the summer,...

It may only be a local channel in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I am still very excited to have had not one but two of my short films shown on US television.
With many thanks to Matt Harris-Freeth and the rest of the talented crew on both
The Port and
Silent Phantom.

It fills me with immense pleasure that for the second time, I can say that a 48-hr Sci-Fi film by
Matt Harris-Freeth, in which I play a small role, has been selected to be part of
The Seoul International Short Film Festival.
The Place of My ?yola-link-is-coming=trueBirth has made
the official selection list.
In 2013, the first film I acted in for Matt,
The Port, was also selected for this festival.

It has been a great pleasure over the last three years to be involved in three short films helmed by Matt Harris-Freeth for the Sci-Fi London 48 Hour Challenge. My parts have been great fun each time, twice have included the vital line given to show it wasn't knocked up six months ago, and my roles have varied from hologram, to doctor and an arrogant sweary PR guy. Each year, I've dived onto set for a short time, shot my scenes and then sat back and waited for the finished film. The rest of t...

September has seen me undertake several corporate role plays, filming promos and playing both a Nazi AND a British soldier from World War II, amongst other things...
I also would like to share the finished film about the brilliant work of
Designability in Bath, who provide wonderful
Wizzybug electric wheelchairs, specifically for under fives to families who need them. A wonderful charity, who deserve all the
support and donations they can get.

After a busy summer of short film projects, voiceover and various live acting jobs for corporates and parties, I'm looking forward to continuing through to the end of the year with a few exciting jobs lined up.
During July, I was filming in Brussels for a fun commercial produced by Monodot for Hello Bank and directed by the very lovely Roderick Fenske. The results of this fun trip and shoot
can be seen here.
The commercial aired on TV in Belgium and was voiced in
French and
Dutch.

The hot weather endures and my work has continued apace and been busy, busy, busy all the way.
I have been recording many voiceovers from my home studio which can get a bit hot and sweaty in this untypical British summer. I'm also very much looking forward to working on a forthcoming short film, in which my throat will be cut and will bleed profusely...!
Aside from that, I've had a lot of live action roles and writing meetings as well as developing several ideas, so watch this space.
