A couple of interesting stats for you… 79% of bu A couple of interesting stats for you… 

79% of business leaders say inauthentic AI voices hurt brand perception.
78% of business leaders say AI voices should be able to express and elicit emotion.

The first one, well, we’ve all been talking about that incessantly.
The second one… is particularly intriguing. 

Because the statement shows there’s an understanding about the need of emotion.
Yet there’s a lack of understanding that AI voices will ever be hit those emotions.

To top it off, this survey is from one of the large P2Ps
who have been known to push AI relentlessly.
I’ve never been one to mince my words. I tell it h I’ve never been one to mince my words.
I tell it how it is. 

Including when it’s time to give feedback.
ESPECIALLY when it’s time to give feedback. 

If someone asks my opinion, I give them my opinion.
From a place of genuine love, care, and respect. 

The voiceover community has become a bit comfortable.
OH YOU’RE SO AMAZING DARLING.

But if you tell everyone how brilliant they are all the time nobody improves. 

And I’ve been in sessions where new talent has crumbled
when a director says “No, that’s not hitting the mark”
because they’ve never been told that before. 

Get real feedback, get real critique, not words of faux comfort.
I cannot stress how important it is for continued growth.

And if you’re in a position to feed back…
Don’t be scared of being honest. 
VOs should be able to take it!
So give us your worst. 

Maybe.
The menu, the chef, the food, the champagne. What The menu, the chef, the food, the champagne. What a great birthday treat to have @chef_emmess here to cook my birthday dinner. We had such a nice time hanging out with you as well And the food was absolutely sensational. I cannot recommend Lukes food too highly if you get the opportunity to eat it anywhere , make the reservation. You will not regret it #greatfood #privatechef
I knew this year would be different, having a new I knew this year would be different, having a new knee even at seven weeks it would be impossible for me to go away to a nice restaurant as I usually do. And then I saw Luke on professional MasterChef and I just knew if I could, I had to ask him if he’d  come and cook for me and Matt for my birthday and he said yes ! And now he’s in the kitchen -more pictures and the Menu to follow .
Over  the moon thank you so much @chef_emmess l

Ah this is the life.
Love the feeling of working without actually working.
And all for rates that would embarrass a community radio station in 1982.

It used to be that there was one gate and it was kept by agents. 
The gate existed for a reason. To stop the floor from falling in.
The old gate has been joined by new ones that anybody
with a blanket fort and a dream can open: to audition
for $100 TV ads (less 20%, less exchange rate).

Platforms profit whether the VO books or not. 
They have zero incentive to raise rates. 

Their goal is to keep the pipeline topped up nicely 
with hungry newcomers, and old timers
who were in on the ground floor.

My goal is to keep MY pipeline topped up nicely
with hungry new clients, and old ones
I’ve worked with for many years.

There ARE people out there who still get it.
But maybe it’s a bit harder to find them these days.
However, the relationships you build now will keep paying off.

Are you feeling the pressure to drop your rates to get the gig?
I was honoured to be part of this ad that carries I was honoured to be part of this ad

Thank you to Breast Cancer Now and radio experts for
trusting me with the words for the Touch Look Check campaign.

A 30s ad with no music is sometimes considered
the hardest type of ad to voice but this
was written so well for time. 

Gently Midlands with a very down to earth tone.

No problem.

My VO buddy @rameshmahtanivo's studio is in Tenerife.

Voice actors always find a way to deliver.

Thanks Ramesh!

A list of business skills… Strong focus. Organis A list of business skills… 

Strong focus.
Organisation.
Herding kittens.
Balancing egos.
Planning ahead.
Reading the room.
Spotting problems.
Time management.
Still herding kittens.
Building trust quickly.
Solving the problems!
Communicating clearly.
Spinning all of the plates.
Sticking to tight deadlines.
Prioritising under pressure.
Always herding those kittens.
Working with big personalities.
Handling last‑minute changes. 
Turning conflict into collaboration.
Budgeting when every penny matters.
Keeping momentum when plans fall apart.
Will someone please take these ruddy kittens?
Negotiating with those who don’t want to negotiate.
Knowing when to push, when to hold, and when to improvise.

All pretty handy for voice acting.
All learnt when I managed a punk band.
It’s surprising how transferable some skills are.

What have you brought into your current role from a previous career?
We've all been there. You go on holiday for a nice We've all been there.
You go on holiday for a nice relaxing

Thanks so much to @rameshmahtanivo 
for the loan of his studio in Tenerife!
Turning up for some pro headshots with dyed purple Turning up for some pro headshots
with dyed purple and green hair,
a 1978 punk pyramid bracelet,
and fishnet glove things… 

That’s me, that’s my style.
And it all works together.
Because it’s honest. 

Just like when we speak about how
all parts of a production must work together.
The music, the visuals, the script, the voice acting.

But sometimes, just sometimes, it’s worth trying something
that makes you think “it shouldn’t work but it does”.

A tiny laugh in a sad moment.
Smiling through a bit of bad news.
A whisper in an otherwise high energy script.

These kinds of choice show us the
contradictions that are all part of human life. 
So the unexpected twist in a vocal take works…

…if it’s honest.

Putting on a blue wig for shock value for your next
set of pro headshots when you’ve never ever
so much as looked at a pot of hair dye? 

Not so much.
Watch us perform with so much energy and confidenc Watch us perform with so much energy and
confidence that we metaphorically destroy the Sure SM58.

Doesn’t quite have the same impact as 
Watch us wreck the mic x3

But PJ and Duncan were onto something:
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of playful bravado.
There’s nothing wrong with a belief in your own ability.

That’s what I can bring to the session.
No quivering under the pressure of 4 directors,
2 agents, 3 producers, and an incredibly smelly pop shield.

You can sit back, relax and
watch me wreck the mic.
Psyche.
Last week someone sent me a link to a Facebook gro Last week someone sent me a link to a Facebook group:
80s New Wave/Punk & Post Punk Nostalgia Page.

The post I was being directed to reveals something
you may not know from before I was a voice actor.

I was the manager of a punk band called Discharge.

The post reads:
"...it was a woman named Tanya Rich
who changed the trajectory of everything, 
because she brought their first proper gig to
the attention of local record shop owner Mike Stone, 
(ran Clay Records), and negotiated the deal that got them signed.

The band were so genuinely grateful
that they secretly dedicated their debut EP 
Realities of War to her in the inside groove of the vinyl.

A hidden message pressed into the record itself
that most fans never even knew existed,
and there is something so deeply
human and touching about that.

Four furious young punks etching a quiet thank-you
into the physical grooves of their first record for
the woman who believed in them first, before
anyone else did, before the world caught up."

---------------

If you believe in something, if you have a genuine passion for it,
keep going. Like me with voice acting (40+ years!) and
Discharge too, who are still going strong!
