Hope it's not too personal but did you ever did a voicing job for McMillan education publishing because I have a english textbook from them and one of the va from the listening exercises sounds like you and i feel like im going crazy
I don’t believe so.
The thing is I’ve been recorded a lot over the years so I may have been recorded as a teenager without me remembering/ realising it would be used.
For instance, as a child I had my voice recorded to act as a speech aide for non-verbal children. I believe it was a one-off to help a specific kid who was struggling to get a voice that was appropriate for them but for all I know its still out there being used somewhere or even distributed.
It’s weird to think about. It’s even possible I might still be some small kids voice out there. Probably the most important recording I ever did.
what a levels did you do?
Maths, Physics, Biology and English Literature.
I tried to do a fifth: “Design Technology” but I was forbidden due to scheduling conflicts and a shortage of time-turners.
iirc you don't like tea, but you have visited Japan, so very useless personal question brought to you by my local park cafe's delicious matcha latte: what is your opinion on macha?
Okay so I don’t like breakfast tea.
I confess I also really don’t get why Macha has the appeal that it seems to for everyone, it’s… fine? I guess? If I had to arbitrarily flavour everything with a specific type of tea I could pick worse I suppose?
I prefer my herbal teas. The kind of things someone serves you to help quell demonic malaise rather than to warm you up in crap British weather.
is there a story behind the cartilage piercing in your right ear (shown on the front page of your website)? just curious tbh, it's kind of a nonstandard location for someone's only piercing to be since the healing process can be so finicky
Personal facts with Alex!
I used to a cartilage piercing and two other piercings in the same ear.
I also used to have blue hair.
I also used to wear a my chemical romance jacket despite never having heard of them because I just thought it looked neat.
I also used to exclusively wear superhero T-shirts and big boots.
You can tell in photos the exact moment I entered the UK job market and locked the mask on so that people would hire me and/or take RQ seriously as a business.
I won’t lie, I miss it but that seemed to be the price to get stuff done.
It’s so ironic to me though that my personal brand has now become: “The most vanilla looking MF on the planet” and if I tried to unmask everyone would be like “ew cringe” etc.
Just remember, when you hear me as a chaos goblin on a podcast, that is me trying to be normal.
how is y0ur day going? :)
Aawwwww, thanks for asking!
Definitely been riding the struggle bus a bit recently.
I am currently in possession of a fairly sizeable beard I don’t want.
Will sell to a good home.
How much for the beard?
Can it be rehomed to a house with cats? Will it attack my houseplants? They're cat safe but I don't know if they are beard safe.
My beard has now been given to a good home and is now frolicking with all the other beards and mullets.
They just have better care facilities than I could ever provide.
Important question, if you had to choose one: would you rather eat a piece of warm cucumber (just regular cucumber shucked in the microwave for like 40 seconds or so) or a couple tablespoons of cornflakes in warm sparkling water?
I have already done both of these things. There isn’t much in it.
Neither of them is chocolate and thus my brain just registers it as “probably foodstuff, who cares?”
thoughts on your voice being a source of gender euphoria?
- I’m happy good people are happy. That is good.
- That is also palpably and painfully ironic given my younger years.
