Working on a project that possibly needs some voice over support. Keeping it broad atm but if you have a reel or some examples of VO work I'd love to hear it. Needed: English-speaking voice actors. British (M/F), Spanish (M), Portuguese (M), Italian (M), American (M).

Whilst in Gran Canaria enjoying moment after moment it was very clear to me that there is only one person I want to spend every moment with for the rest of my life. So I asked @ellielou22 to marry me as the sun set on the beach and she said yes!

A life update: As of today I am no longer a part of Social Chain. I've had a wonderful time at the company over the last 5 years, working with and managing some incredible people. I've worked on projects and campaigns I could've never dreamed of and I'm grateful for everything.

Lockdown 3 is very much like Kingdom Hearts 3. Sure it's the 3rd official lockdown but there's been loads of spin off lockdowns in-between and I don't have a fucking clue what's going on.

People bitching about Friends finally getting added to UK Netflix because "it's repeated on Comedy Central all the time." I wish I had the decadent lifestyle where I subscribed to cable AND had streaming services. What a lifestyle that must be.

My mum is very proud of me on Facebook. I'm obviously very happy to get my promotion and I was not prepared for how people would react to it and go further than a simple "congrats". But knowing I've made my mum and family proud is a feeling that's hard to really put into words.

My grandpa passed away this morning after a long battle with amyloidosis among other things. He was a kind and caring man that meant a lot to me. Many of my school holidays growing up were spent with him and Grandy and I'll always have those memories. I'll never forget him.

Seeing people say £30k is what "a junior makes" is interesting because... It ain't. I want everyone to be paid more but I know people in various industries that £30k is far from "bad". Also saying "you can get that doing retail" isn't a zinger. Retail workers deserve good pay.

They should make a Resident Evil game but all the doors open one way (and that's by pulling them, which is extremely impractical) until you get to the final boss where you have to escape by pulling open a push door like the opening of I Think You Should Leave. Big QTE event.
