05/24/23 • 164 min
Today I sit and chat with David Holmes. A voiceover artist who featured as the special guest narrator for Episode 23's "The Terrible Old Man" by H.P Lovecraft. We talk about a lot of things me and David. From his previous career as a theatre lighting designer, to his humble voiceover beginnings as a virtual Glaswegian Toad. From talking about his valuable 3 P's lesson for novice VO's, to his appreciation with vintage pencil sharpeners. There are even some pigeons in there somewhere. It even gets to a point where we're just blurting out celebrity voice impressions that we either can or can't do, so needless to say, we laugh a lot during this conversation. But with nearly every laugh shared, David always has a lesson to share, so you can learn something as well as laugh at something. This is the longest conversation episode so far on the Cryo Pod Tapes and just might be the funniest one too.

(BONUS Tape 27) In Conversation with VA, Brad Shaw
In this Conversation Episode, I sit and chat with fellow voiceover artist and my friend, Brad Shaw. Brad has been in the creative industries all his life and has had experience as a theatre actor, a show reel producer, a murder mystery facilitator and of course, a voiceover artist. As well as delving into Brad's colourful career, we hear the story of how he created his VO training platform, Wonderland VO. Which started out as an audiobook project of Alice in Wonderland, in support of the NHS during the first Covid lockdown. We also talk about what makes acting, "good" acting and in brads opinion, why being part of a community of voiceovers can be one of the best things an aspiring VO can do.

(BONUS Tape 29) In Conversation with Comedy Writer and VA, Debs Wardle
Debs is a voiceover artist and comedy writer who although has only been in the VO industry for a little over 3 years, as Debs put it herself, she believes to have found her calling the moment she first stood in front of a microphone. As well as talking about Debs' humble beginnings as a VO, we also talk about a whole load of other subjects. Such as the usual tips and lessons she’s learned along her journey so far, our fascination and admiration towards famous audio drama director Dirk Mags, her performance on Cryo Pod Tapes' Episode 21 Lone Orbit by Roger Ley, and the difference between bad script writing and good script writing, delving into detail while using examples from movies like Alien, Game of Thrones, and Transformers. There's that and more in this newest longest episode in Cryo Pod Tapes history, so we hope you enjoy it.
