Celebrating World Audio Drama Day 2023 ...

It's that time of year again ... when we celebrate all things AUDIO DRAMA!

It's 33 years since my very first AUDIO DRAMA/RADIO DRAMA a radio play called 'THE PEOPLE'S WOMAN' directed by the much missed PHILIP MARTIN for BBC RADIO all the way back in 1990... It was an important moment in my fledgling career and I'm very grateful to have continued working in audio drama for over 30 years now - huzzah!

I'm also grateful to now LECTURE & DIRECT students in the DARK ARTS OF AUDIO DRAMA at some of the countries leading universities and drama schools, long may that continue too! I get so much from passing whatever knowledge I've acquired over the years to the next generation of radio/audio actors ... Oh and I'm glad to say that I haven't stopped working myself in this world and I'm still learning!

My WORK REVIEW of 2020 ... here's to a MUCH BETTER 2021!

Looking back over 2020 I'm quite staggered about what I managed to get up to, feeling blessed to look back on some positive 'work' highlights during what was for the most part, a very challenging year for us all!! 

Let's hope for a MUCH BETTER 2021!!

BRAND NEW adaptation of JULES VERNE classic '20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA' is released by AUDIBLE ...

So proud to finally be able to announce my involvement in the tremendously exciting new adapatation of the JULES VERNE classic adventure '20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA' for AUDIBLE ...

I've loved the 1954 Disney film starring JAMES MASON since I was a nipper (not the first time around I hasten to add!!) so it was a great thrill to lend my tonsils for the greatly enjoyable cameo of (MASON) in EPISODE ONE of this EPIC FIVE-PART ADVENTURE. Even more of a thrill is that it became my very first FULL CAST AUDIO DRAMA for AUDIBLE, although I do feature quite alot on other AUDIOS on the platform ...

There's a VERY STARRY CAST (in alphabetical order) ... Gary Andrews, Michael Brandon, Sean Connolly, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Adrian Lester, Clive Mantle, Carla Mendonca, Terry Molloy, Ben Perkins, Montserrat Roig, Andrew James Spooner. Produced and directed by Barnaby Eaton-Jones. Sound design by Joseph Fox. Original score by Abigail Fox. Adapted by Tony Lee.

It was also such a positive thing to do in the current pandemic, as it also became my second REMOTE RECORDING PROJECT from my HOME STUDIO ... It really was a quite extraordinary thing to do, all of the actors recording remotely from their homes, then piecing it all together in post production. Serious HATS OFF to SOUND DESIGNER JOSEPH FOX in particular and PRODUCER and DIRECTOR BARNABY EATON-JONES ...  

Here's a direct link to AUDIBLE to purchase this amazing example of overcoming adversity ... ENJOY!! https://adbl.co/2EcGpuO

'Blackstone Fortress' a Warhammer 40,000 AUDIO BOOK by Darius Hinks - Narrated by Sean Connolly is AVAILABLE to PRE-ORDER ...

I can now reveal the project I was working on PRE-LOCKDOWN is now AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER here ... The novel, written by the amazing DARIUS HINKS based on the 'WARHAMMER QUEST: BLACKSTONE FORTRESS' game from GAMES WORKSHOP now has an AUDIO BOOK and I had the great honour to be asked to be it's NARRATOR.

It's a real roller-coaster ride of a story (my first FULL LENGTH AUDIO BOOK for Games Workshop) and I had an absolute blast recording it! ... There was OVER 30 CHARACTERS to voice (PHEW!) so it certainly was a MARATHON but a hugely enjoyable one. Some of the characters I already knew from doing a FULL CAST AUDIO DRAMA called 'THE BEAST INSIDE' (below) last year, also based on the game where I played the lead role of the moustached and monocled Rogue Trader JANUS DRAIK ...

You can DOWNLOAD it via BLACK LIBRARY from MAY 30TH, it will also be available to grab from AUDIBLE, AMAZON KINDLE and APPLE BOOKS ... the RUNNING TIME is FIVE MINUES SHY OF 10 HOURS at 9 HOURS 55 MINUTES ... More news after it's official release ...
