Words and Music
Words & Music
I’m so proud to be on the next episode of this wonderful programme on BBC Radio 3 this sunday!
Let’s write a list. From the week’s shopping to the Ten Commandments, from the pop charts to the phone directory, life is full of lists. This exploration of our obsession with list-making includes Mozart’s Don Giovanni’s conquests, Maria’s Favourite Things from the Sound of Music, Polonius’s advice to Laertes, Bridget Jones’s New Year Resolutions and Herman Melville’s catalogue of whales. Readings by Jon Strickland and Emma Powell.
Scrummy!
If you’re a chocolate lover like me then this series of recipes will make you crave some! After voicing these I definitely had to finish off those after-eights I’d been hiding!
Curio..writing worth listening to
For most of this year I’ve been reading fascinating and well-written articles for a new app called Curio. In addition to the app, it is also live on Aeon!
Here’s one of my essays:
And here’s the partner page.
In the last 2 days of being live, Curio’s articles have been listened to 20,000 times!
And finally.. this was some lovely feedback I received:
What a sublime article read with such restrained passion giving the piece a whole new and near spiritual character! This is a remarkable example of a narrator mattering as much as and complementing the writer’s beautiful prose.
Luxury, comfort and mattresses!
One example of a series of films I voiced for Zeus Visuals. Serious bed envy!
Rome 2 Trailer
Check out this top class trailer from Creative Assembly with my voice as the strong, scary but wise mother: just like in real life!
Most popular audiobook!
Well I’ve just been told that a book I narrated, Lesley Pearce’s ‘Without a Trace’ was the most borrowed audiobook from libraries last year, beating Harry Potter into second and third place! Incredible.
Game Trailer
Another cool trailer for a game I’ll never get to play! Lovely working with Trailersquad.
Mazda CX3 Case Study VO
There was a lot of script to fit into this case study film for digital agency Candyspace. This is probably the fastest read I had to do this year and took some time to get my breath back. 🙂
‘I am not a Robot’
I recorded this in my fantastic home studio and was delighted to see the final result. I think my cool factor has risen considerably!
