About me
Design and publishing industry background before becoming a freelance writer. Now I'm expanding my experience by looking to enter the acting/ presenting/ voicework field. I recently spent five months working with a London based media company, featured in a design documentary for Channel 4, which included much camera exposure in multiple locations working with directors and producers. Though this was interview/ documentary in format, the feedback provided to me by the TV industry professionals was that I was one of the best subjects they'd worked with as regards being comfortable, confident and properly spoken on camera, following script or adlibbing (most interviews were scripted), even after multiple takes on 12+ hour shooting days. Previous to this I've done some extra work, on an Italian film and on an episode of Skins (C4). I thus want to now build upon my experience gain further exposure. Vimeo link to C4 documentary available.Additional skills:
Voicework (slightly unusual thus notable voice). Writer (creative and journalistic). As n ex-editor and journalist, I'm articulate and coherent in communications and can thus follow instructions well.
Additional information:
Based in North Bristol but have worked extensively in London and around the UK. Travel not an issue. Enjoy outdoors lifestyle, camping, cycling, boardsports etc. Have spent years prior as a journalistic writer and editor but also write extensively for pleasure (essays and sci-fi fiction mainly). Huge enthusiast of cinema history as well as art history, design and architecture. Confident, curious and tenacious in nature, I'm a grafter who loves rolling my sleeves up and getting stuck into any interesting project. Interested in space, technology, design and science. Have a perennial sense of humor.
