Yesterday, I was exhibiting all day at Solihull’s Business Growth Show. After speaking to people all day, many of whom were interested in my offerings, I ended up with a good handful of cards of people that I could easily work with in the future at any time. Now, I’m not one of these people…

A Much More Deserving Cause For Xmas Number One
If you’ve recently watched the recent series ‘The Choir – Military Wives’ with Gareth Malone, you’ll have seen he was training up a group of Army wives and girlfriends to be a choir. The series was superb, and has resulted in them creating a single. Proceeds will be going to two charities that help the…
Behind The Scenes And In The Booth Of Happy Feet Two
I stumbled across this behind the scenes video today, of all the voice actors that feature in the upcoming Happy Feet Two film. The film itself looks rather adorable, and now makes me want to see the first one and this one! Can’t believe I’ve not seen it….I’m such a fail at times. As you’ll…
See Me At The Business Growth Show
On Tuesday 6th December I shall be attending & exhibiting at The Business Growth Show‘s inaugural event in Solihull. It’s set to be a fantastic event with several hundred people coming through the door for you to network with. Over the last few years I’ve attended I think every single one of the Birmingham events…
The Art Of The Conversational Read
This post is prompted by Amy, a voiceover colleague of mine, and a recent posting of hers on her fabulous blog – Voice Of Amy The actual post this refers to can be found here – it’s well worth a read. It’s all about the ‘conversational read’ as us voiceovers call it. It’s possibly, arguably,…
The Best Birthday Card Ever Made!
Well, today is my birthday. I don’t say this to encourage a flurry of “Happy Birthday”‘s as I normally keep it quiet, but today is a bit different. This post is rather to draw your attention to, what I think, is the world’s best birthday card! It was given to me by my mom this…
What Happens When A Presidential Candidate Gets Re-Dubbed
Someone sent me this YouTube video the other day, showing the effects of re-dubbing a presidential candidate! I have no idea what Mitt Romney was saying in the original clips, but watching the lip movements, it’s sometimes impossible to imagine that it could be anything BUT what the the re-dubbed audio says it is! I…
The National Memorial Arboretum
I went to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire yesterday afternoon, as I’ve been meaning to go for some time since it opened a few years ago. It’s one of those places that really is a must-visit sometime during your life. The grounds have been very nicely thought out, with lines of trees surrounding the…
If Darth Vader Was Voiced By Kenneth Williams
I stumbled across a rather amusing video on YouTube the other day; a version of Star Wars from an alternate reality. We’ve all I’m sure seen the raw footage from a Star Wars scene of the actor in the costume of Darth Vader, Dave Prowse – delivering his lines in a rather un-menacing Westcountry accent….
The Passing Of A True Legend
Last night, I saw the news break via Twitter to say that Steve Jobs had died. At first, like so many of these tweets, you assume it’s a distasteful hoax, so I ignored it. However it soon became clear that it was actually genuine. The web for the last 15 hours or so has, predictably,…
