Lockdown work
I've had a home recording studio for many years now, so I was a bit ahead of the game when everything shut down. Here's some of the stuff I've done since March 2020.
Acoustically dead and soundproof room. SE2200A mike, Pro Tools 12, Macbook Air, Ethernet connection, Virgin fibre super fast broadband, over 100 Mbps. Clean Feed, Source Connect, Zoom, ipDTL. Experienced programmer, website designer and PT editor.
This is a test for a computer game. Haven't heard yet if I've got the part. Funny script. An English motorist breaks down on Watt street, Ware, Oregon. I'm both characters.
For the INK Festival, a 2 minute duologue by Tom Pauk, between an old Suffolk man, and his Polish friend. Again both me! Radio Suffolk 4/9/20
Another one for INK. A monologue by Matt Marvel.
This was a test for a TV called Soulmates. And they used it! Love being Martin Amis.
A test for John Betjeman in The Crown. Got the part. The last thing you hear in Series 4 as Her Maj heads of in the carriage for her Jubilee
...to the ridiculous, hey gotta pay the rent.
A test. Didn't get it.
I do a lot of newsreaders, for The Crown, Downton, movies and TV series, like these. Here's an example of the Cholmoney-Warner version.
And here's a short story I wrote called The Nail that Bent read by the marvellous Wayne Forester. I would have read it, but it's a Welsh story, and Wayne gives the story complete authenticity.
More Specific by Toby Laurence
A funny short sketch about a man whose kitchen has been delivered to the wrong house. Me and Katie Redford.
I was asked to read a short story by Saki, called Cousin Theresa. Funny story.
Now I'm an old git, I get asked to help aspiring actors, which I'm happy to do. Here's me answering questions from students at Stagecoach.
