Q: So why voice acting Chris, what drew you to the industry?
A: Well, for years I'd always relied on my agent sourcing me voice over gigs. I'd then head into someone else's studio to record the gig. I loved it, yet I knew I could go next level, there was something more I felt compelled to tap into. So, at the end of 2019, I built a home studio and made the push for autonomy. Then the "great lockdowns" happened, so I doubled, then tripled down and built the business and professional service I have now, I couldn't be happier. Apart from going to work in my undies every day in my home studio, the broad range of clients I work with and projects I get to produce rewards me with a sense of gratitude I never knew existed. It's awesome!

Q. You do plenty of commercial voice over, animation, produce audiobooks and have your own E-commerce platform for audiobook sales. Out of all the voice over mediums you work in, what is your favorite?
A. Great question! Look, it's just like my acting career, each process is different. TV is different from Film, Film different to stage, and each has it's own style of work flow. Same with VO, Commercial stuff like TVC's and radio is awesome, cos it's high ticket, low energy out put, bread and butter stuff. Then documentary narration is great, because it's longer form and I'm adding value to the visual narrative. Animation and computer game character VO is just so free and fun. Then there's audiobooks, which are an absolute marathon, yet it's just me in the booth, bringing an authors hard slogged story to life. It is so rewarding, especially when so many authors (especially with their first few novels) are processing something deeply important in their life, whether it be trauma or otherwise. It is an absolute gift to assist in their process, to bring their story to fruition... with a little extra Miller-Magic they hadn't expected. I'm a story teller by trade and proclivity. Each medium allows me to use my skills to serve the story, whether it be a Brand, Documentary, Cartoon or Audiobook. The "actors joy" I derive from the work is unbelievable.
