Around 980,000 people currently live with dementia in the UK — a figure expected to surpass 1.4 million by 2040. In light of this, I’m especially proud to share that I’m in the running for ‘Television Promo – Best Overall Performance‘ for the promo ad I voiced last year for the Alzheimer’s Society at the One Voice Awards 2025.
Once in a while an absolute jewel comes along for me to narrate. The Last Days of Kira Mullin is an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller, with exceptional dialogue, nuanced characterization and superb writing from the pen of husband-and-wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French.
Together they publish under the single name Nicci French, and you’ll find the books regularly topping the bestseller lists. I’m happy to say that in January this title was selected as Apple’s ‘Audiobook of the Week’.
Over the past few months, I have also been spreading my wings, joining the roster of a handful of American publishing houses and studios, including Dreamscape, Podium, Tantor, BeeAudio, Deyan and Audio Bee productions. And I’m pleased to have been hired already to narrate a few titles with Dreamscape and a series with Tantor.
Finally, two students I tutor at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff have gone forward to the final of the prestigious BBC Carleton Hobbs Award. They are in the final 28 out of 72 of the best graduates in the UK – such a credit to them! Wishing them luck – more news soon!
