NEW GAMING DEMO!
Had a brilliant session chez IOAudio last week, honing the characters that Frankie Wakefield created & scripted for me.
@donaldpirie.bsky.social worked me HARD! Which is exactly why I was so keen for him to direct me.
And Rich is an absolute production wiz - just listen to this!
On all major podcast platforms from 6pm tonight!
Expect plenty of understated in-fighting, some lengthy discussion of trivial matters, some good ol' British Stiff Upper Lip, oodles of inter-parish rivalry....
...and absolutely NOTHING to be actually decided.

Do you remember Jackie Weaver?
Andi White does. And so does Hannah S-V at BBC Upload.
Here they are - from around 13 minutes until 26:40 - talking about Matters Arising, Nova Audio's sitcom about a Parish Council.

The first episode is released tomorrow at 6!

Feculence: The Fourth Part of Us
pnc.st/s/this-addre...
Just spent a very enjoyable 40 minutes nattering with Brian Kelly about being a part of his brilliant audio drama Hearthfall, audio dramas, acting in them & directing them.
You'll see the results in dribs and drabs in the coming months.
(You can probably tell from the photo that we had a reet laff)
"You have three days to internalize that map and learn the moves to your little dance. And then you’re going to fucking dance for me.”
Viola and Agatha use their collective strengths to navigate the dark and murky underworld of Tethys, playing along and forging unlikely alliances to survive.
This episode also features the voices of Tania Gabbidon @tegabbidonvo.bsky.social as Thatcher Trevis, Emma Laslett @houseofhubris.bsky.social as “Payday” Parsons, John Kennard @johnkennard.co.uk as “Two-Lives” Twain, Harley Ronan @classypollux.bsky.social as “Lucky” Lavigne...

Proud to be joining an absolutely stellar cast in this top-class audio drama!

It's spooky, it's exciting, it's..... DARK!
The first episode of "Death Among the Olives" - which I star in alongside some seriously talented voice actors - is out:
"It’s like "The Golden Girls" meets "Murder, She Wrote", but with men; and set in Spain"

YLEM MEDIA CASTING CALL
Hey pals! I am casting for a role in my next standalone audio drama. I'm looking for a gay (or bisexual) voice actor who can realistically play mid 20's. Here is the Google Drive link to the sides - please feel free to share! Thanks!!

My view this evening.
Successfully piloted the UCS Havock on a diplomatic mission to recover vital data (and dispatched a few baddies en route). Thanks to an excellent captain & crew! #bridgecommand
At Audio Drama Hubfest. @beyondshakes.bsky.social is soon to go on, but meanwhile @robertcrighton.bsky.social has just been cast as a dinosaur in a spontaneous masterpiece by Audio Drama Done Quick
Lovely little feature of my alter-ego, Alasdair, in today's Farming Simulator blog.
Big thanks to Giants Software for inviting me to give him a voice, and especially for their stance against AI voices!

Just spent a very enjoyable morning recording for the prequel to my favourite audio-drama-wot-I’m-in: Happy Medium (happymediumpod.com).
@jhp-fiction.bsky.social's writing is just so good; it genuinely was a joy to read it.
And DeeDee… devastating with both eye-liner and one-liners!
Chuffed to bits to be joining a whole load of talented voice actors on the
zAudio roster :)
Can't wait to see what exciting projects they have in the pipeline...
Originally written in the late 18th century by Robert Tannahill.
First recorded in 1957 by Francis McPeake.
Most recently recorded last week by a bunch of VAs 😊
Thanks, @alvaradofilm.bsky.social ,for inviting me to sing on this lovely trad folk song!
Sinners "Will Ye Go, Lassie Go?" By Voice Actors! 🪕 🎶
I loved this song from Sinners, so I got a couple of voice acting friends and created this!
@jonnalynnalonso.com@johnkennard.co.uk@paulmoranvo.bsky.social joined in, and then I mixed and edited them (also sang). Enjoy!
When a writer gives me fantasy names to pronounce which are, let’s face it, a random keyboard-mash (“the Ksplernat & the Aosirhuagph & the Poiuygfcvbnjk”)…. I give as good as I get!
From the recently-released “Alien Robot Space Jesus From The Future” - a very daft audio drama with a good message.
🌟 ROLE ANNOUNCEMENT 🌟
I spent this morning in my home studio, recording for the old sea dog of Kinlaig, the fishing village that's at the centre of the upcoming DLC for @farmingsim.bsky.social
And having been watching the pre-release teasers... 𝑜ℎ 𝑏𝑜𝑦 am I proud to be a part of this! It's GAWJUS!

This, for your education, is what it sounds like when they're burrowing a tunnel for HS2 20m below you & about 50m away.
And what it looks like on my DAW.
They've been at it for over a week.
Thankfully Reaper's ReaFir can splat those peaks, but it's driving me nuts!

Here's Matt Mercer on the Future Games Show introducing the trailer for a game that I'm narrating....

Sometimes wishes do actually come true!
Back in Feb I commented on a post of @dianahelenkennedy.bsky.social's that MAW was on my wishlist of "shows I'd love to be in".
And here I am, playing a time-travelling Professor!
Now, I've always fancied being in Assassins Creed...
