So you get an email from a film student who is making a ‘short’ which he is entering into a Film Festival. He’d like you to do the voiceover. As much as we’d all like our voices to be out there and earning us a fortune, sometimes it’s nice just to remember we all start…
If you can hear a sigh of relief coming from the general direction of Warwickshire, then I’m louder than I think.
