FridayFeelgood (monday edition) Feb 24 2025

Hi and welcome to this #FridayFeelgood!

I hope that your week and weekend have been excellent and I want to hear about your feelgoods! Let me know below what's been great for you in the last 7 (9) days ;)

My feelgood is the reason this post is late - I was simply too busy Friday-Sunday to get around to this...and this isn't a post about feeling smug either!

This weekend I was audio describing two shows in #belfast so that involves a lot of watching, writing, re-watching, re-reading notes and wondering things like - who wrote this and what does that say!? *If there's one thing I've learned, that's to stay on top of your handwriting skills. I hand write a lot more than most people and sometimes it's tricky to ensure it's all legible!

#Audiodescription for anyone that doesn't know, is simply voiced description added to video or spoken at live events to add context for anyone who cannot see, can only partially see or only wants to listen.

This weekend I provided the audio description for Joseph and The Technicolour Dreamcoat in the Grand Opera House and The Gap Year in the Lyric Theatre. Both productions were fantastic and it was a real pleasure to work on two wonderful and very different styles of show.

Have you been to either of these productions-what did you think!?

Here's to a great week for us all and I look forward to reading your #fridayfeelgoods!

If you need a voiceover that specialises in good handwriting, that's probably not me but for all other voiceover services, I'm your guy!

If you need a Northern Irish, clear, confident voice to make your business or organisation sound great or to make your event more #accessible and #inclusive get in touch today!

Hello! Happy Friday and welcome to the #fridayfeelgood club!

What's been happening in your week!? Have you smashed your targets, nail an audition or gotten over a cold - what is making you FEEL GOOD this Friday?

For those of you that don't know, this is my regular-ish Friday Feelgood where I ask you all to share something good that's happened in your week, it can be work related or not, it's simply an opportunity to share good news with each other and feel good about at least one thing!

My feelgood this week was having the opportunity to attend a musical improv class with #makeimprovbelfast . It was a class about singing improv - the kind you may have seen on shows like 'Who's line is it anyway'...which if like me you LOVED growing up.

Now this #voiceover mistakenly thought with her love of words, rhymes and passion for being very very #silly that it would make life very easy, I can tell you right now, the opposite was true!

The format of the class was excellent and the two coaches, Aaron and Marcus were fantastic at explaining how it all worked and made the space a lovely welcoming environment.

I LOVE improv, it's a great tool for actors and voice actors alike to help with performance but I know that I will need to practice a LOT to get anywhere near ready to perform in front of an audience.

Have you ever tried improv? WOULD you try improv or does the thought of it make you want to run to the hills!?

Have a great weekend and I look forward to hearing about your feelgoods this week!

If you're after a friendly #northernirishvoiceover to make your business sound great or for your next project then drop me a line, I "promise" I won't make you do an improv game.
