Writers of Animations let Voice Actors Loose on their work! – NOW A PODCAST!
Come and join industry voice-over professionals as they perform new scripts at live virtual and in-person events. As well as providing a couple of hours of merriment, goofiness and play, this event also reveals the notes and processes that go on “behind the scenes” at voice recording sessions.
Watch as scriptwriters see their new work performed live before their eyes under the voice-directing skills of top industry professionals. It’s a high-speed creative roller-coaster that’ll leave you amazed (and amused) at the talent on all sides of the animation equation.
Could us working together elevate the quality of our content? Let’s play and find out!

With?
In the past, Scripts Out Loud has organised by Julie-Ann Dean and Rhian Marston-Jones. We usually have the wonderful Barry Purves voice directing and a guest producer.
The writer and/or creator of the chosen script will also be there along with the actors.
WHy?
Children’s animated TV characters often don’t come into their own until half way through the first series. By creating a play space and having a dialogue between writers and voice actors, we can focus on building more relatable, rich and dynamic characters.

With 3 decades of experience working in children’s TV, I now have hundreds of credits to my name. Some highlights include Paw Patrol, Toby’s Travelling Circus & BabyRiki. In recent years I have won a Voice Acting Awards for gaming and animation character roles, both in the UK and LA and am now enjoying working on some popular video games and several children’s animations for BBC, YouTube and Netflix.
