Hey folks - posting for a colleague, they're looking for Kenyan voice actors of any gender with access to a good remote recording setup. It's a paid role - if you're interested, please comment and I'll pass on your info

Ai Ninomiya’s voice never fails to give me goosebumps. Enjoy this footage of her singing the theme song from My Neighbour Totoro at West End Live earlier today.

Recorded some audition tapes this morning, which is something I’ve not done in an absolute age. It was fun and the home studio still sounds good so if anyone needs a little Tan voice for their audio drama/game/something else, HMU.

I am (sadly) one of Sarah Pochin’s constituents and I have absolutely no concerns about the burqa. It is 💯 a non-issue in Runcorn I guarantee it.

Day 6 of nocturnal cough. I am so over it now. Would like some sleep please. (Yes, I am in bed propped upright like a vampire. No, it doesn’t make a jot of difference.)

Am spending a couple of days hanging out with old friends in London and, honestly, it is just the balm my heart needed. Nothing like old pals to bring you back to yourself.

Heartbroken that it’s come to this. Zombies, Run! has been a huge part of my life for over 10 years and the good folks at Six to Start are some of the best people I’ve ever worked with.
Lil scoop from me. Six to Start, maker of Zombies, Run!, has laid off the majority of its staff. Parent company OliveX is looking for a buyer.
This was the app that finally got me into running 🥲
