Here's what Spiteful Puppet have to say about the upcoming story:

"The rains have come and Phillip De Nicholay, Lord High Sheriff of Nottingham, has a famine on his hands. Increasingly desperate in his efforts to keep the Shire alive, Phillip finds that old enemies have been gathering both their strength and their forces and now circle, eager to reap a harvest of their own. Before long, he will face his enemies in a fight that will cost him that which he values most..."
 
I will be slipping into my monk's habit for 'HOOD - WARRIORS' HARVEST' once again. As ever it was a terrific few days in the studio, with the added bonus of a welcome addition to the cast (see below *) ... RELEASED THIS SUMMER ...

My first ever computer game voice over job - 20 years ago ... 'WARHAMMER: SHADOW OF THE HORNED RAT'.


Look what I found on You Tube .. a game I did 20 years ago! 'WARHAMMER: SHADOW OF THE HORNED RAT'. This was the first 'computer' game voice over I ever did. I played about a dozen or so characters, some of whom are featured below in a rogues gallery of sorts ...


Some of the characters Sean Connolly voiced in the computer game 'WARHAMMER: SHADOW OF THE HORNED RAT'.

I remember there were three of us covering all the characters in the game ... myself, Marc Finn and Gavin Naylor and the sessions being great fun. It was originally designed to be played on a PC but they adapted it for the PlayStation.
