I have just finished a run of an original theatre piece for Tabs Theatre Co. called “Three Sides”. I’m currently working on a travelling show for children which will kick off in January entitled “Shakin’ Up Bublin”.

When I was a student in Wales many of the film students required voice overs for their various short films so it was intersting to me to act solely with my voice. About a year and a half ago a colleague suggested that I create a demo and put my voice out there.

I have always enjoyed specific character voices but in particular I love the movie trailer voice. Its one of my favorites but for work either the hard sell or cheesy breezy ad man are my best. And I enjoy using Sean Connerys voice or Patrick Stewart. Bald men always sound the best.

I got a long running gig from Piehole and many auditions. Piehole is a far cry from the usual companies who simply have you on the books. They really do help you out to the utmost of their abilities.

Patience is a virtue and determination will always be rewarded, eventually. If you can find the balance between those two then you’ve almost won the battle. Creating versatility in your voice is work and so must be treated as such. Don’t over or understretch your range. Know your limits. Most importantly be about 20 minutes early, always. Time is money and your either early or your late.
