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...

Variety is the spice of life!

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Thursday, 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!

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.

Cartoon versions of me - Sunny Day on Nickelodeon and short film, Puppet

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, March 7, 2018,
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...

Quiet!

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Monday, February 6, 2017,
For someone who often makes a living as a voiceover actor, it is interesting, if not ironic that I've been involved in many film projects where I don't say a word! From the music overlaid "Whatever the Weather" which showed on the giant screens in Bristol's Millennium Square over the festive period and popped up on local news, to my latest two projects.

I recently completed shooting for the Kodak Nahemi Awards "Room with a View" with a range of grunting noises in a future dystopian world of le...

Languages

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Wednesday, May 11, 2016,
A chunk of April was very enjoyably taken up for me to record with talented folk in their native language. As luck would have it I was asked to record and edit three voice actors speaking the three foreign languages I love the most: French, German and Spanish. I had already provided the voice of the English script and it was lovely to be able to help my client with direction in languages of which he had a limited understanding (and one he claimed to know nothing of at all!) at the same time a...

Voiceover variety

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Friday, July 17, 2015,
Since my last blog post I have attended a few screenings for short films in which I've played a part - always fun to see an audience react. Though, the most interesting things have happened behind a microphone.
My voice has lent itself, through jobs and auditions to all manner of things from dwarfs to dads, dogs to underage scallies trying to buy cigarettes and narration of an audiobook thriller to the growth of bacteria in water tanks!
Each role different and fun to research and execute.
As I e...

Working with a great team

Posted by Alan Medcroft on Sunday, April 6, 2014,
March was a fun month with many new opportunities coming my way and trips to various old casting friends and some new ones too.
However, I was most proud of the accomplishments of others rather than my own. I was able to call on my great team of voiceover actors to pull together a couple of projects involving 13 characters in just over one week. That everyone made themselves available and delivered wonderful performances is a credit to them all. As I processed the last couple of actors' invoic...
