ABOUT

What would you do if someone whose work you admire told you that you were 'magnificent', and that their dream was for you to record a piece of their writing?

It's not often we have the opportunity to make a dream come true, nor that it's something that's a joy and a privilege to do!

That's how this project came about. The fabulous US copywriter Jeff Eaker said those very words to me.

Well, how could I resist? it’s not often you have such wonderful writing to play with. I perused Jeff’s treasure trove of blogs, ironically called Kingdom of Failure, and after just a few minutes I came across an absolute gem, just waiting to be voiced. My heart beat a little faster, and I knew resistance was futile.

At the first opportunity I slipped into the voice over booth...
It was like a musical score. Everything was there for me. The notes, the tempo, the rhythm, the dynamics. I just had to allow myself to enter that room and sit at the typewriter. I could see it all so clearly, hear the whirr of the fan, sense the cobwebs, the history and the silence. It was an absolute joy to bring that score to life.


Sometimes it’s good to write something, record something, create something, do something ‘just because’. Call it a passion project, call it what you like, this stuff feeds the soul. It creates beautiful new connections and takes you on unimagined journeys.
It can even make dreams come true.

Whatever next? Over to you.
